Master Blevins and the Blue Wave Main School invite you to join us for the 2026 Fall St. Louis Gateway Championships on Saturday, November 7th. The event will be held at the St. Theodore Gymnasium, 5051 Highway P in Wentzville, directly across from the Main School.
For the first time in many years, competitors will have the opportunity to participate in Forms and Sparring on the same day. Many newer students in our Association have not had the opportunity to participate in this type of competition. So, in addition for readying yourself for the sparring brackets, please prepare and fine-tune your competition form.
Whether you are an experienced competitor or entering your first tournament, we encourage you to participate, support your fellow students, and represent your school.
Divisions will be organized according to age and rank so you will be competing against students who have similar experience. Please speak with your instructor if you have any questions about tournament preparation, appropriate divisions, equipment, or competition rules. On Tournament day, doors open at 7am, Overview of rules will be at 8am, and the Competition will commence at 8:30am. Please be ready in uniform. Because there are 2 parts to the Tournament Day, please pay attention to announcements for your ring assignments throughout the day.
Tournament Weekend gives us opportunities that don't happen every day. In addition to your own performance, please watch, support, and learn from the other competitors. Your goal should not simply be to win an award. But to add more layers to your martial arts training and experience.
The day doesn't have to end when the competition does! Competitors, instructors, families, and friends are invited to join us afterward for dinner at Fiesta Hill Saturday evening. The restaurant is conveniently located just across the street from the tournament venue and directly in front of the Main School. It's a great opportunity to relax, visit with friends from the other schools, and finish the tournament day together.
