In order to compete at the world championships you must qualify for the WKC Canadian Team. The first step is to qualify at a regional event. The WKC holds 8 - 10 regional events across Canada during the months of February through April. Competitors who place at these events are invited to compete at the WKC Nationals held in May. The Nationals are a true Canadian Championships with top competitors from British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Northern Ontario, Quebec and the East Coast testing their skills. This three day tournament is rated the top competitive, professional martial arts event held in Canada. The top four finishers in each division are then eligible to attend the World Championships. Canada, as with other countries can enter four competitors in each division. If any of our top four competitors cannot make it to the world championships then the 5th place competitor is eligible to attend.
