Welcome to the AmeriKick International

Karate Championship

Dear Athletes, Teams, and Coaches,

We extend a warm welcome to you all to join us at the highly anticipated AmeriKick International Karate Championships, taking place in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA on August 15-17, 2024.

This event holds a special place in the hearts of martial arts enthusiasts, as it brings together the best competitors from around the globe for a weekend of intense competition and camaraderie. With a rich history spanning 42 years, our tournament has earned a reputation as the “competitor’s tournament,” embodying excellence in sport martial arts.  Last year’s event included athletes from 10 different countries and 39 states.  

A little history about our event … In 2008 the AmeriKick Internationals, Atlantic City and the Tornado Internationals, Kansas City, Missouri, merged their combined years of tournament promotions and raised the bar, yet again, to bring their competitors excellence in sport martial arts competition. This event is becoming widely known as the “competitor’s tournament”. 

At AmeriKick, we pride ourselves on offering a unique experience for all participants. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or new to the tournament scene, you’ll find special divisions tailored to your level, ensuring an inclusive and exciting atmosphere for all.

In addition to the thrilling competition, we’re excited to introduce new features for 2024, including the World Underbelt Championship Titles, increased prize money, and special awards for Black Belt Jr Grands. We’re also hosting a martial arts business summit, providing valuable insights for school owners and managers.  And world Champion training Seminars.
