Bringing the Best of Texas Sport Karate Since 1998! Competition is one of the greatest motivating factors for students. It sharpens skill, develops drive, build camaraderie, harnesses school spirit, and develops confidence. Today Texas competition has grown in popularity. Black belts, advanced belts, intermediates and beginners have more events to choose to compete in as compared to previous years where forms and sparring were their only choices. For example, one competitor could enter weapons (musical and non-musical), forms (creative or traditional), stick combat point sparring, self-defense and breaking just to name a few. Our goal is to promote and elevate Sport Martial Arts and we are glad to see that more and more dojos and competitors are getting involved. Not only is the TKO League getting noticed, so are everyone who is involved with the circuit. The stronger each school gets, the stronger the whole Sport martial arts movement becomes. Since types of events are no longer limited, why should martial artists be limited to competing in one organization? With the birth of Texas Karate Organization (TKO) existing organizations, can sanction with TKO using their own unique rules at each of their tournaments and still be related through a common tie. Being sanctioned by TKO, promoters can expect a steady growth at their event, which will create a higher level of competition among the competitors.
Wayne Nguyen—Founder Dewey Sutton—Co-Founder
We have established a rating system for tournaments and athletes, as well as judging parameters that will serve to elevate the standards and quality of Sport martial arts. For 2014 we will have two ways for competitors to be ranked and qualify for State Finals…”Qualifier” and “Non Qualifier”! Tournaments that uses TKO rules and divisions will be considered a TKO “Qualifier”, and tournaments that does not use TKO rules will be considered a “Non Qualifier”. This simply means “Qualifier” is the top ranking, and “Non Qualifier” is the secondary ranking at STATE FINALS. “Non Qualifier” tournaments can accumulate points, but will be below the “Qualifier” at State. There is a total of 6 TKO Conferences throughout Texas with each Conference having its own “Qualifier” tournaments. The top 8 players (1st –8th place) from each Conference with the most points will earn top ranking at State. THE MORE YOU COMPETE AND WIN AT TKO QUALIFIERS, THE BETTER CHANCE YOU WILL RECEIVE THE #1 SEED AT STATE! The state tournament is open to anyone regardless of being a T.K.O. member; however, all T.K.O. members will be eligible to be seeded (placed in a preferred position of competition) at the state finals. Non seeded competitors will be seeded as “Wild Card” players. The winner of the wild card players will then advance with the seeded players to compete for the state title. We will be using TKO rules for the T.K.O. state finals. All competitors are required to email or mail in their tabulated points before the November, 2013 deadline. The season begins February 1 and ends November of each year. A copy of the official TKO rules can be downloaded on our website. TKO promises to endeavor to bring sport karate in Texas to a new level. The TKO publications will unite formerly separate leagues by making martial artists’ names familiar to each other and by forming friendships that span the state. You can expect to see TKO publications recognizing new and up-andcoming faces as well as reviewing current tournaments. We look forward to another fantastic year and hope to see you real soon!

Wild Card is the lowest with no ranking. Tournaments that uses TKO rules and divisions will be considered a TKO “Qualifier”, and tournaments that does not use TKO rules will be considered a “Non Qualifier”.

RANKINGS FOR QUALIFIERS AND NON QUALIFIERS TKO LEAGUE “QUALIFIERS” (TOP RANKING)—All TKO sanction events that use TKO rules and divisions are considered “Qualifier” tournaments, and will have the top seed (Top Ranking) at State Finals! There are 11 TKO League Qualifiers in Texas, and each will have representation of the top 8 seeded players (1st –8th place)! TKO will track “Qualifier” events for the competitors which will be published on the TKO website! We have TKO Leagues (Demographic Areas) in Texas. You can expect to see similar rules and divisions at a “TKO Qualifier” at the State Finals! TKO “NON QUALIFERS” (SECONDARY RANKING)–All TKO sanction events that does not use TKO rules and divisions are considered Non-Qualifier. Competitors who earn points will be seeded at State Finals from lowest to the highest seeded players, with only the TKO League “Qualifier” having the top seeds (Top Ranking). In other words, competing at a TKO “QUALIFIER” has the best seeds at TKO State Finals! Remember, its up to the competitors to tally and submit their own points using the TKO Point Chart before the November deadline! Points can be mailed or submitted online at www.WayneNguyen.com. TKO “WILD CARD” PLAYERS (NON RANKINGS)—Are considered Non seeded competitors that are not rated by TKO. This simply means that a competitor did not earn points, but would still like to attend the State Finals. “Wild Card” players will have the lowest seed in each division entered. In Sparring “Wild Card” player must fight all “wild card” player until one “wild card player” remains. The winner of the “wild card” player will then advance with the seeded players to compete for the
state title.

In the end Alfredo Bustamante captured the 18+ Black Belt Grand Champion Forms. The Junior Grand Champion for the 2nd year in a row goes to Trace Megellas with his flashy weapons “Bo” routine that wowed the judges and crowd! In the sparring competition, Texas current sport Karate champions were in attendance. The Blackbelt sparring divisions were fierce and many champions was declared champions! But in the end, it was Sheray Reese and Derrick Wilson taking the covenant Walt Mason 18+ Black Belt Grand Champion Sparring.
