2025 National Qualifier Event Cancelled – New National Team Application Process Launching May 1st

Dear Competitors, Coaches, and Martial Arts Community,

We hope you are doing well and we thank you for having been so patient with the lack of information regarding the 2025 Canadian National Championships. We are writing to inform you that the 2025 National Qualifier event has officially been cancelled. 

This decision was not made lightly. Due to recent injuries sustained at unrelated martial arts events in Alberta, the local martial arts commissions are undergoing potential restructuring. As a result, it has become impossible for our event to receive the legal sanctioning required to proceed this year. In light of this uncertainty, and out of respect for both legal compliance and the health and safety of our community, we have chosen to cancel the event.

That said, our commitment to building a strong and skilled national team remains unchanged. In place of the qualifier, we are launching a formal application process for athletes wishing to be considered for the 2025 WKU National Team.

Applications will open on May 1st, 2025.
We will accept applications until August 12th, 2025, but please note that we will begin reviewing submissions and announcing selected team members starting June 7th. From that point forward, applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis until all positions are filled.

This process ensures fairness, accessibility, and adequate planning time for athletes, while maintaining the competitive standard expected at the national level. Applicants will be evaluated based on experience, skill, submitted materials, and readiness to represent Canada at the 2025 WKU World Championships.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
