About KICKUSAKICKUSA stands for Kids In Competition Karate. KICK/USA is a non profit, community based organization founded in 1994 to promote the positive benefits of the martial arts to youth. Today's youth face many challenges, some new and some pre-existing. Single Parent Families, Dual Working Parents, Violence, New & more Potent Drugs - all represent difficulties to future success. The demographics of the martial arts student has shifted from almost exclusively adult, to most school's enrollments being under 17 years old. As martial arts instructors, we have a responsibility to offer positive guidance to our young students. KICKUSA was founded to reinforce the positive values of Respect, Discipline and Self Confidence to youth. This is accomplished through a circuit of martial arts tournaments which promote a very positive theme, affiliated schools that promote a very positive approach to martial arts training and partnerships with local school systems to reward positive accomplishments. KICKUSA currently promotes a circuit of tournaments devoted exclusively to youth,ages 5 to 17. Young martial artists compete for points towards a possible State Championship. In 1997, KICKUSA held the first Junior National Martial Arts Championships that was open to all styles of young martial artists. This exciting event is to be held annually at Disney's Wide World of Sports™ Complex just outside Orlando, Florida.
