Get ready for an exciting series of friendly matches as Dojos from across each state come together to compete for the title of 2026 State Champions — with the opportunity to advance to Nationals in November.

At the heart of every Friendship Tournament are the values of RESPECT and FRIENDSHIP. This is your chance to represent your Dojo, support your mates and step outside your comfort zone!

Remember — it’s not about the result, it’s about gaining experience, building confidence, and growing as a martial artist.
