We have updated and enhanced our registration process with new software which is our only method of registration for this year’s event! Please visit: https://JSKENPO50.SMOOTHCOMP.COM where you will have to create a free SMOOTHCOMP account (if you don’t already have one), complete your profile (no need to fill out Belt/Skill Level or affiliation/team), join academy (search for Jeff Speakman’s Kenpo 5.0 (Your Martial Arts Studio city name)), then revisit https://jskenpo50.smoothcomp.com and choose 5.0 Fighter West Coast Regional & click register. The exciting part of this software is that participants will be able to log back in at a future time with their account credentials to update information, change competition divisions, add/remove divisions, and purchase t-shirts.

*Spectator tickets will be sold at the door with cash payments.

Similar to last year, we will be offering the following 3 events for competition:

Open Creative Forms – You may combine set or forms, modify, or perform an exact Kenpo 5.0 form

Self Defense – This year students will be performing once, street speed only (no slow motion)

*Regarding attackers – please be mindful that adult black belts will be judging (use classmates)

5.0 Fighting - Make sure you provide accurate weight or you will be disqualified. Login and update often.

Competitors will compete with their highest ranking between kids/teens/adults in all 3 events."

The exact divisions(brackets) and check-in time will be provided as registration comes to an end. We are going to do our best to group the students by rank and age and have them compete in all 3 events back to back. There might be a few instances where we need to combine some brackets, depending on the number of competitors."

Each of the events above will be divided by Rank brackets:

White / Yellow / Orange Belts – Beginner

Purple / Blue/ Green Belts – Intermediate

Brown & Black Belts – Advanced

Each of the ranking above will be divided up by Age brackets:

7 & Under 14-15 Years

8-9 Years 16-17 Years

10-11 Years 18-34 Years

12-13 Years 35 & Over

All brown & black belts will have the opportunity to compete for Grand Championships in Forms & Self-Defense. We will also have two over-all Grand Champions, who will earn entry to the Las Vegas Event in July!

Trophies will be awarded immediately in each ring. Photowall will be available to take pictures (have your cameras ready)!

*Make sure you read the entire updated Rules and Regulations so you can prepare properly!
