SJ International Cup (Tulsa, Oklahoma)

First SJ International Cup

SJ Karate organized the first International Championship in the State of Oklahoma, and the first USA-NKF Referee Seminar. Both of these events were a total success. Top-notch competitors from Armenia, India, Puerto Rico, Morocco, Peru, Canada, Mexico, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, and Oklahoma participated.

SJ Karate was SO fortunate to have the participation of the well-known European and International competitor Sensei Sargis Garyan from Armenia. He competed against the best and achieved first place in Kumite and third place in kata. Thanks much to all competitors and especially to Sensei Sargis. Oss!
