Unlike mass-market tournaments, the competition field is kept small and exclusive. Be a part of the premier karatedō tournament that everyone talks about the rest of the year!

The NYC Karatedō Championship is the only major tournament held in the heart of New York City, in Manhattan at 57th Street and Lexington Avenue. Accessible from every major subway and bus line, with numerous weekend-rate parking available all around.

Please note that competitor registrations are always limited in order to keep the tournament the exclusive karatedō event that is has grown to become. There are absolutely no registrations on the day of the event; we expect all spectator tickets to be sold-out the day of the event itself.
