Event Details
Join in the fourth event of the 2021 SMA Virtual Tour – the sport martial arts league for everyone training in martial arts and karate. This community of martial artists gets together once a month to enhance their martial arts experience through competition. The events are all LIVE, using the Zoom platform so you are competing and being assessed in real-time as well as watching other competitors. It is described as “as close to in-person as you can get.” You can compete against people all around the world from your home, your yard, your dojo and even while at another event! It is one of the best ways to enhance your martial arts experience.
