News/EventsTournament Entry Reminder!
31
Jul
2026
Don't forget to return your NZDKA Tournament entry form to Sensei by Friday 31 July (sooner would be better).
We need your entry on time so we can order participation medals and tournament tee shirts, organise the competition draws, and make sure everyone receives the support they need on the day.
Want a tournament tee shirt? Email steve@karatedojo.nz and don't forget to include your tee shirt size so we can place the order.
We're looking forward to an amazing day celebrating karate, kobudo, and our Wellington martial arts community. We can't wait to see you there!
