Who should Join?

Sport Karate is not for everyone. In our experience, about 10% of our students body is well suited to the time, money and work it takes to compete on the tournament curcuit. We have developed a system where you can train with our team, you can even compete with our school, but you do not have to commit until you have expereinced the rush that sport karate can supply.

If you and we find you are one of the few suited to Sport Karate, you will be asked to join our Sport Karate Team, wear it's colors, and ride the Wave of Excellence.

Periodically we will hold competitions at the school, generally in the spring and in October. We also support Regional Tournaments sanctioned by IPPONE, KRANE, NASKA, in that order of recommendation. Members of MAK who are not Wave Riders, our sport karate team, should not attend any tournaments except our own and IPPONE events, and should not participate in any without a black belt coach. Any student wishing more information or having questions on requirements to enter tournaments should see his or her instructor, and if they are MTC members, they should attend the Wave Rider weekly class. No student should attend a tournament without the permission of their instructor.

How do I Join?

Wave Riders. MAK’s sport karate team members are titled wave riders, calling on the skill, power, and grace it takes to master the power of the ocean. Attending wave rider classes is limited to MTC members, but membership on the Wave Rider team is subject to both tryouts and invitation after the auditions.
