Tournament Competition

Northern California has produced some of the most powerful and dynamic martial artists in the world. Ramtown Karate supports traditional karate competitions at a local level with the Northern California Karate Federation (NCKF), where traditional competition meets state of the art training methods. The NCKF is comprised of the best karate teams in Northern California, the most trained professional judges, and the best coaches, several of whom coach and judge at the national and international levels, including the Pan American Games and the World Karate Federation Championships.

Ramtown Karate athletes who rise to the top at our local level tournament circuit are eligible for national level competition through the USA National Karatedo Federation (USA-NKF), and the AAU. In 2009, the Ramtown Karate Competition Team comprised of 14 members traveled to Florida for the USA-NKF Nationals and returned with 14 medals. In 2014 the Ramtown Karate team traveled to Reno for the USA Karate Nationals. Our team came home with 18 medals, and 4 advanced division first place National Champions. This type of competition requires advanced and intensive training to boost our athletes to the highest level of timing and technique. This challenging path reaps life lessons of discipline, concentration, stamina, and courage, and the opportunity is available to all of our students.
