The U.S. Association of Martial Artists (USAMA) holds a National Tournament Points Competition for our martial arts competitors. For this year’s point divisions, please see our listing under Points! Tournaments are given star * ratings by the association which determines the point values to be earned at each sanctioned event. Our point year runs from January 1st to December 15th. The top ten in each point division who are current USAMA members are recognized at our Annual Awards Banquet during our Grand International Championships. The top ten competitors in each division will earn certificates with the top three receiving a special award.
