DO you know why Miyagi Ken International Academy consider competition an important part of our Karateka’s integral formation?
Go! FIGTH! WIN!
The classes for the competition team are designed to develop specific skills necessary in a competition mat, which also requires a higher level of commitment and discipline.
1. Sport Karate offers us a safe and controlled environment to test the skills of our students.
2. Helps the student to stay focused on themselves to overcome their physical and mental weaknesses.
3. The Spirit of Karate is present when we give the best of ourselves in search of personal improvement.
Karate did its Olympic debut at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.After having an incredible debut, we are more than convinced that this ancient discipline will be unstoppable as an exciting option among sports.
The first appearance of Karate at the Olympic Games took place in the birth nation of the sport and in the same venue of the first Karate World Championships: Nippon Budokan. Moreover, Karate experienced its first Olympic event at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. Additionally, Karate has also been included in the sports program of the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar in 2026
