WELCOME
We would like to cordially invite you to our 18th Annual Carolina Martial Arts Open!!
We are bringing the CAROLINA MARTIAL ARTS OPEN in South Carolina back as one of only three TCT “AAAAA” Rated events for 2020!!!
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 Hilton DoubleTree Hotel and Conference Center. 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 TCT Championships & Banquet on November 13-14, 2020!

It is with great pleasure that our Association (AKANA) has granted sponsorship to the Carolina Martial Arts Open. We are so very happy to give our blessings to Mr. Brian Pena and The Karate Dojo for its continued outreach to the Martial World, with its dedication and commitment to safe and secured procedures and practice of a Quality gathering. The organization and management of competitors and spectators is without doubt the best in the industry of Sport Karate Tournaments. I wish for all Sport Karate Competitors along with all the AKANA members who will be attending this event to show the world that life is abundant with love, faith, hope, for a better world. Karate-do changes and saves lives every day. Be a part of history in South Carolina, see you all there.
