THE CNMI Martial Arts Academy for Self-Defense has been dedicated to teaching students and adults the fundamentals of Shinkyokushin Karate.
Through their hard work and rigorous training, our goal has always been to prepare them for higher-level competition, including off-island tournaments.
On April 5, 2025, the Guam Shinkyokushin Association will host an international Karate tournament, bringing together participants from various countries and Pacific islands.
We are honored that the CNMI dojo has been invited to compete in this prestigious event.
This year, we will proudly represent the CNMI with the following young athletes:
• John Austin – Boys’ 16-Year-Old Division
• Zane Fujihara – Boys’ 10-Year-Old Division
• Mahlia Dowai – Girls’ 10-Year-Old Division
As a non-profit organization, we seek your generous support through monetary donations to help our young athletes participate in this tournament. Your contributions will assist with travel expenses, including airfare and hotel accommodations, ensuring that our students have the opportunity to compete at an international level.
As a valued sponsor, your company will receive:
• Recognition for supporting our academy
• Acknowledgment through the presentation of a Certificate of Appreciation
Your generosity will provide these students with a meaningful and life-changing experience as they compete on a higher stage.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration and support.
