Our Instructors and Students are back from the World Championships!
Our Instructors and Students are back from the World Championships!Over the years, the National Karate Schools have produced some of the finest martial artists in the country. We have been blessed to produce World rated competitors in nearly every arena of competition including professional Kickboxing and Sport Karate tournaments (in both Forms and Sparring). That tradition of top fighters and form competitors continues today with dozens of NK Black Belts holding top World Rankings and Championships. Last week we had Instructors and Students compete successfully in two different World Championships and we congratulate them all!
