All our students are sure to benefit from this fun orientated intra-school tournament. With many events to choose from, there will be competitions that appeal to everyone.

Our wish is to provide the children a training goal to carry them through the year and keep them focused on their kung fu training despite all the distractions the year may bring. The adult competitions will help our students take their training to the next level and perhaps provide the final push needed to achieve black belt. This tournament will also be a good preparation for those students who wish to compete in the open tournament circuit this year.

Divisions will be based upon age and skill level. To further endorse our goal of producing well rounded martial artists, sparring competitors MUST also compete in at least one forms division.

Entry Donation = $20 for up to 4 competitions. $5 for each additional competition entered.

Only eTransfer to silentriverkungfu@me.com will be accepted as payment. All proceeds go to the Silent River Benevolent Foundation and are donated to charity.
