Over 125 competitors from around Saskatchewan demonstrated their training and skills in a variety of divisions.  Among them were sparring, kickboxing, and open hand forms of kata.

They even introduced a new kicking contest called KICKathon where competitors see how many times they can kick a punching bag within a given time limit.

The competition’s divisions split up athletes that range in age from four to 60 years old.
