WELCOME
We would like to cordially invite you to our 16th Annual Carolina Martial Arts Open!!
We are bringing SURVIVOR in Jekyll Island, GA and the CAROLINA MARTIAL ARTS OPEN in Columbia, SC back to the NBL!!!
Staying true to my character, this year’s event promises to build on the reputation we established in 2004 as a well run, super-organized event worthy of your attendance! We have put many hours into producing what will be an exceptional event for everyone from the 4 year old Beginner to the Master Blackbelt!
This year we are hosting the Carolina Martial Arts Open at the spacious Goodman Building at the South Carolina State Fairgrounds. The Goodman Building is a brand new and spacious 40,000 square foot building that will allow us to grow into the future! All rings will be covered by matted surfaces.
This year along with our beautiful and professional plaques we are offering prize money to all Grand Champions; both Blackbelt and Underbelt!! All competitors will receive awards for competitive spirit regardless of placement!
We hope that you will choose to compete at this year’s Carolina Martial Arts Open and earn valuable points towards the NBL / SKI Super Grands World Games in December 2019!

LifeForce Fighter GroupThe CMAO is consistently one of the best coordinated tournaments I attend. It's obvious that Brian Pena spends the time to meticulously train staff. He also does what it takes to hang onto valuable, experienced staff members from year to year. All this makes for a well organized, smooth running tournament experience.
