The annual David Deaton Karate Studios karate challenge is upon us!
This is our first all school function of the year. The students are competing for individual trophies as well as the coveted school trophy (for the school winning the most 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in Forms, Fighting, and Weapons). The Challenge is scheduled for Saturday, April 21st at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville.
The purpose of our intramural events (The Challenge and The Karate Olympics) is three fold:
- To help educate the student body on how to handle stress and pressure in a competition format
- To help raise funds for Project Sparrow which helps with tuition for financially challenged families
- To raise funds for CPA
Detailed information on the who, what, when, and where is listed below and, of course, you can always stop by the front desk or email us with any questions.
