Elite Competitor Program

We train athletes starting at age 4 to join tournaments. Competition teaches you to be confident, and resilient, and the unity of being a part of a team.

From ages 4 - 10 you can compete on a recreational level within the province, starting at age 11 you may begin competing at an elite level to make the provincial team. If you make the provincial team after gaining points at the provincial qualifiers, you are allowed to attend the national championships. From there you fight the top fighters across Canada to make the finishing podium to make the national team.

Once you are on the national team you can compete across the world at various tournaments including but not limited to Pan American Championships and World Championships. So far, our program has produced both provincial and national athletes.
