Ignite Karate hosts two Karate Performance Tournaments per year- one in the fall/winter and one in the late spring/early summer. The event is free and fully virtual, and are non-competitive.
During the event, students are showcased one at a time to perform a practiced form or basics sequence. Students can perform their basic karate moves (called out by Sensei Jenny), they can perform a form they know (Form Perserverence, Form Foundation, or Form Evolution). This month in classes we will be learning and practicing Form Foundation part 1, and Form Evolution, along with the karate basis option.
Students watch their classmates, support and clap for them, and at the end of the tournament all students earn a medal or trophy (medals in the winter tournament, and trophies in the summer tournament). Families must order the award in advance (see below).
Our Karate Performance Tournaments are for all students, of all levels!
Performance events are a wonderful way for students to build self-confidence. By committing to the event ahead of time, and practicing outside of class, students learn how to set goals and work towards achieving them. Importantly, the emphasis on our events is not on "winning" or being better than our classmates. Because they are performance in nature, our events give students a safe space to rise to a challenge, and succeed by doing their individual best. This is essential for developing self-esteem and sense of pride in one's hobbies and interests.
Families can order their child's own award at the link below. In the Winter Tournament, we award medals, and in the Summer Tournament, we award small trophies. Our aim is to keep the award economical and accessible to all families, so we provide the recommendation below for a trophy ($8.99 plus shipping).
At the link below, please select the 10" trophy option, and then you may continue to customize the activity ("karate" should be selected), and then students can choose their figurine for the top, the column color, and the marble base color.
There is also engraving available. Three lines are available and we suggest the following:
STUDENT NAME
IGNITE KARATE
SPRING 2024
Yes! Please see the videos below!
Both! We will dedicate time in class to specifically practice for the performance. However, much of the value of participating in a tournament really stems from the efforts a student puts in on their own time to prepare for the event. We recommend students practice in front of their parents once or twice a week to prepare for the tournament and give as much value as possible to the earning of the award.
Here are the karate basics called out by Sensei Jenny, that students in Karate Basics will do at the tournament.
Here is part one of form foundation, which students may choose to perform. We will be practicing this in May classes!
You can view the walk-through of this form here.
Here are the intermediate karate basics called out by Sensei Jenny, that students in Intermediate 2 Karate can do at the tournament.
Intermediate 2 and Advanced students will be learning this form in May classes.
This video contains a walk-through and the regular speed.
Intermediate students will present themselves at the tournament prior to performing their basics or form.
Intermediate students may also choose to perform Form Perseverance if they learned this in the Fall Quarter.
