Help support our students in the USA Karate Team!!

At this year’s USANKF Nationals in Lafayette, LA, 4 students from our school, Palm Beach Karate, qualified for Jr. Team USA and will be representing USA throughout the world!

  • Christopher Garrido - Gold Medal

  • Gabriela Navarrete - Gold Medal

  • Kevin Cruz - Silver Medal

  • Julio Velasquez - Silver Medal

This year they will be competing at the Jr. Pan-American Championships in São Paulo, Brazil and 2 of the 4 will also be competing in the Jr. World Championships in Venice, Italy. The expenses for each tournament/trip will be extremely high, which include travel, hotel, food and other expenses throughout the tournament for the students. We created this fundraiser as a way help our students with some of the costs so they can have the opportunity to accomplish their goals.

Thank you for your support and consideration.

"My daughter has been in this school for 9 years and it is an excellent place that teaches values. The attention the staff gives you is phenomenal, they make you feel like family. They have taught my daughter how to be self-sufficient in her athletic life as well as her personal life. It was the best decision I could have made to help her grow to become the person she is today. I highly recommend Palm Beach Karate School!"
