Help Me Start A Professional Karate League

Hello,

My name is Travis. I am a 4th degree black belt in Goju Ryu Karate. I have been training for over 20 years, and teaching in some manner for most of that. I have competed in point fighting at the state level in the US taking a gold medal home, I've fought MMA, taught an MMA class with a fighter who had a winning record when he joined the US Army, and I have also competed in point Muay Thai competition. I have run the martial arts program at an athletic facility before opening my own dojo.

I am also a veteran of the United States Navy our Navy Motto is 'Honor, Courage, Commitment' the slogan of my former ship was 'Pursue, Attack, Vanquish'

Both of these attitudes are how I have approached all of my endeavors over the last 13 years

Several years ago a new fight promotion focused on karate, with karate fighters only started up. It quickly grew in popularity inside and outside of the karate community. After a change in leadership however they have turned their backs on their core fanbase and begun cheap gimmicky influencer fights, fights that are different styles, and hiring fighters for their 'karate' fights, that have absolutely no karate background.

The funds will go toward starting a new karate league, that will always put karate first. All fighters will have their rank and lineage verified to ensure they're not just buying a belt online and trying to get a pay day, and build up a record. Funds will be spent on a listed that include but not limited to
