What is The PKC?
The Professional Karate Commission is one of the fastest growing Martial Arts organizations in the United States and Canada.  We are dedicated to preserving the integrity, ethics, and principles of Karate-Do.  Our goal is to serve you in the best and most efficient manner possible.  You will find many of the top competitors, performers, schools, instructors, and judges in the United States and Canada among the members of the PKC.  Authentic World Champions, Hall-of-Famers and REAL Martial Arts Masters are prevalent among our membership.   Look for the PKC logo for a truly respectful atmosphere, with good sportsmanship, and exciting, quality competition. 

PKC Point Tournaments
The PKC has embarked on an extensive point tournament program.  The PKC sanctions tournaments across the United States and Canada.  When you see the PKC logo on a tournament flyer, it is the equivalent of the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval".  These tournaments are scrutinized for fair play and to see that awards justify the entry fee.  Top quality awards are presented at Tri-State PKC events.  Competitors can be assured of getting their money's worth in both the level of competition and the quality of awards at PKC sanctioned events. 

PKC Headquarters maintains National point standings for PKC members who place among the top four in a division at any PKC event.  The same is done here for the Tri-State area.  Annual Regional and National awards banquets are held in conjunction with PKC Regional and National Tournaments & Conventions to honor the Champions.  Current National and Regional points results are posted on line. Results are also sent to the instructors of all PKC Associated schools.  You must be a member of the PKC to maintain point standings and to receive the many benefits that are provided.
