Patriot Karate students compete in numerous tournaments throughout the year. We participate in a variety of divisions, learning both Creative Musical Extreme (CMX) and Traditional techniques. Many of our students are also registered competitors in the Georgia Masters Karate Circuit (GMKC).

At studio-supported competitions, our instructors are on-site to coach and support each student. Below are the results and photos from these tournaments.
