The Northeast’s Premiere event – The New England Open comes your way on June 4th to 5th!Dubbed as the Northeast’s ‘crown jewel’ event, the New England Open sets to deliver another action packed weekend on June 4th and 5th, 2010. The annual event, which is held at the Royal Plaza Hotel and Convention Center in the Boston suburb of Marlborough, continues to bring Sport Karate to new heights. Its presentation of unique awards, offering special divisions not usually found in regular Sport Karate events and a spectacular evening show highlighting the superstars of the sport definitely sets itself apart from the other tournaments held in the Northeastern United States. In the past, not only is the event attended by the usual American competitors, it is also frequented by neighbouring Canadians seeing that it is within driving distance from many of NASKA’s Eastern Canada conglomerate. In addition, with promoter Joe Greenhalgh’s active support of such European tournaments as Irish Open, it comes to no surprise that legions of European fighters come to the event to give the North American’s their run for the money.

NASKA Canada starts the season with a sting at the International CobraOn Saturday, April 10, 2010, Pierre Saulnier proudly presents the International Cobra Karate Championships in St. Eustache – minutes away from the historical Canadian city of Montreal. The rapidly growing tournament marks the first leg and official launch of NASKA Canada. With the abundance of talent that was present at the WKC Quebec Provincial qualifier back in February (which Saulnier also hosted), one could only imagine the scope and magnitude that this year’s International Cobra will be bringing to this country! With the tournament being held in the French capital of Canada, the tournament boasts an International flavour without actually leaving this side of the world. Not only can you experience strong competition against the Nation’s finest, you could also catch the pristine and historic sites that only Montreal can offer.

WINDSOR, ONTARIO, CANADA – With a nme like the Southern Ontario Open, one would automatically think that this was a tournament somewhere in the outskirts of Toronto. However, this Southern Ontario Open was actually held at the Southwestern-most tip of Ontario in the border city of Windsor. The newest addition to the NMAC Can-Am Tour, first-time promoter Brian Brunelle definitely hosted a tournament with plenty of promise and potential. With a large facility that could easily dwarf the facilities held at World-level competitions, the St. Denis Centre at the University of Windsor provided a spacious environment where competitors and spectators can freely roam the competition floor without bumping into others. In fact, in between the rings were spaces large enough for two rings where competitors can warm up prior to competing. The highlight of the event were the hand-crafted Torino Olympic-inspired medals, which were well worth their weight in Gold. 
PHILADELPHIA, PEN – On the weekend of March 26 and 27, Bob and Jill Leiker, together with Mark Russo presented the Amerikick Internationals. The NASKA 3A event also had an NMAC sanctioning and it came to no surprise that the Canadian turnout was larger than usual at a NASKA World Tour event. Although usually held in November, the event moved to an earlier March date to make it the last tournament before the 2010 rankings are posted. This was the final opportunity for competitors to earn points towards their 2010 seeds (which will be used at the next event – The Ocean State Grand Nationals in Providence, Rhode Island). The Pennsylvania Convention Centre was the venue for the event and was immaculate in presence. Its spacious lobby and well-maintained halls were a sight to see. What also made it convenient was the fact that the tournament hotel – the Courtyard Marriott – was only steps away from the establishment, making it convenient to all who attended. Also adjacent to the facility were various restaurants and bars which made finding food not a painstaking task. 
Exciting martial arts tournaments across Canada and U.S.A are posted on a regular basis on the NMAC Web site. Please check out the Event Calendar page for further information regarding event's venues, dates, contacts, and more.
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA– As it always has, the Toronto Tournament of Champions, held annually at the end of November, marks the culmination of a successful Canadian Sport Karate season. The NMAC Elite Rated event was also recently designated a NASKA “AA” rating, drawing in talented competitors from near AND far!
