Frequent Questions
The tournament is open to all martial arts students from participating CMAA schools, regardless of their experience level.
The participating schools include Ripple Effect Martial Arts, Personal Achievement Martial Arts, Success Martial Arts, and Exclusive Martial Arts.
Absolutely! Beginners, including white belts, have a special orientation-style competition experience. White belts will showcase their basic techniques—what they’ve learned in their first classes—during the basics portion of the event. This is a fantastic introduction to tournaments, designed to teach new students what competitions look like, where to go, and what to do.
Beginners receive participation trophies or medals for their basics performance (no 1st/2nd/3rd place awards). In addition, beginner-level students compete in the Belt Tag competition—a fun, non-contact event where the goal is to pull flags from an opponent’s belt. Belt Tag does include rankings, so white belts have the opportunity to win a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place trophy.
This event is about learning, building confidence, and taking the next step in your martial arts journey!
Yes, you can still compete! For Levels 2, 3, and Black Belt competitors, sparring is optional. If you choose not to spar or don’t have sparring gear, you can still participate in the Forms Competition, where you’ll showcase a form of your choice. However, Belt Tag is only available for Beginners and Level 1 students.
If you’re interested in sparring for future tournaments, reach out to your instructors about how to get the proper gear.
A limited quantity of extra shirts will be available for purchase on the day of the event for $25. However, sizes are limited and cannot be guaranteed.

Judges are not evaluating correctness of the form but rather technique, power, and overall performance. Examples include demonstrating strong stances, precise strikes, and powerful kiaps.
The tournament is an incredible opportunity to challenge yourself, sharpen your skills, and build confidence in a positive and competitive environment. It’s also a chance to learn from and connect with your peers.
