We had a blast at the Karate Masters Invitational Tournament! Thank you to everyone who attended, competed, and supported this event and congratulations to all our participants!

Parents and families, we need your help! Without a full time photographer on staff, we get a very limited number of photos at classes, tournaments, events, etc and you may notice you see a lot of the same faces. Well, we would love to share your photos as well and shine the spotlight on your student!

If you get a great shot at a tournament, performance, belt test, or even just a regular class, drop it into this shared folder: Student Photo Sharing. We will pull from this folder for all kinds of publications including the school newsletter, social media pages, our website, and even school flyers and brochures!

Please note that by adding your photos to the shared folder you are consenting for RRKA to use them for any of these purposes.

Do you own a business? Want to advertise through RRKA and reach hundreds of people? We are looking for sponsors for our 2nd annual tournament coming up! The tournament will take place on Saturday, November 2nd, 2024 at Kalahari Resort and Conventions in Round Rock! We have invited more than 12 martial arts studios to participate and expect more than 100 competitors to attend.

100% of sponsorship funds go directly to making this tournament a success and sponsorship comes with some great perks! If you are interested in becoming a sponsor or know of someone who might be, you can pick up a sponsorship packet from Master Delenela or email Matt Baker, our Logistics Director, at matt@bakerrealtytx.com. You can also click the attachment below to see more details. Help us make this year's event even better than last year!

Speaking of our tournament coming up in November...

We have reserved a block of rooms at Kalahari for this event! These come at a special group rate that is almost HALF the regular price AND includes waterpark tickets for up to 4 guests per room! We have a very limited number of rooms available at this group rate, so if you want to stay at the resort the night before or after the tournament, reserve your room today! Reservations can be made at this link: RRK Invitational Room Booking. If you have any questions regarding rooms or reservations, please contact KSN Ani at girlrobinson7@gmail.com.

Has your student outgrown their uniform? Want to pick up a used one or donate your old one? We now have a program for that! Check out the link below to see what we currently have available. And bring in your old or outgrown uniforms and leave them in the bin to help us catalog and update what is available.

RRKA is working on becoming certified as an off campus PE provider for Round Rock ISD! This means that students can earn their PE credits for school by attending classes at the dojang instead of at their school. For more information or to see if your school accepts this program, please speak to Master Delenela.

Congratulations to all who promoted to their next rank!
