Pineda's hosts 35th Annual Interschool Karate Tournament

Pineda's Kenpo Karate hosted the 35th Annual Interschool Karate Tournament on March 29, 2025, at Lincoln Middle School. Twenty-one Green River students were joined by seventeen Utah students and competed in traditional forms, creative forms, traditional weapons, open self-defense, sparring, padded sword sparring, flag sparring, and power breaking. Utah schools participating included Montano's Academy of Bushido and Martial Arts and Sky's Old School Martial Arts.

For many students, this competition was their first, and this tournament was geared specifically for first-time competitors. Students, who placed first in any forms divisions, also competed for the Grand Champion at their age level.

The team is preparing for upcoming karate competitions in April in Missoula, Montana and Herriman, Utah. Additionally, Pineda's Kenpo Karate will host the 44th Annual Western Wyoming Karate Championships on May 10, 2025, at the Green River Recreation.
