The David Deaton Karate Studios Karate Olympics, our second all school function of the year, is gearing up to be a great tournament for our students!

Our Karate Olympics will be held Saturday, September 22 at Beech High School in Hendersonville where we plan on continuing the spirit of Olympic competition and award Gold, Silver and Bronze medals to our Hendersonville, Brentwood and Mt. Juliet team members. Also, the school that wins the most medals at the Karate Olympics wins the school trophy, which stays at the winning school for a year.

The purpose of our intramural events (The Challenge and The Karate Olympics) is three fold:

  1. To help educate students on how to handle stress and pressure in a competition format
  2. To raise funds for the host high school
  3. To help raise funds for Project Sparrow (our internal scholarship fund) which helps with tuition for financially challenged families

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.
