The stars of MORTAL KOMBAT will be at Badger State Championship on Saturday, October 3rd at the ARC in New Berlin!!!

We are proud to announce that Master Daniel Pesina (Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Reptile) and Master Carlos Pesina (Raiden) from the original cast of Mortal Kombat will be joining us at this year's event.

They will be available for meet and greets, autographs, and photo ops. AND Master Pesina will be hosting a rope dart throwing seminar (the moves he famously innovated for Scorpion's spear). That's right, you can meet the stars and learn some very cool skills!

Last year's event was amazing, and this year we are cranking it up to 11. More KPNP Olympic Sparring, GUSS Forms System, Skore Pad events, more food trucks, another coffee truck to help take some burden off the coffee shop's lines, and now... martial arts stars that inspired generations of kids to become martial artists.

Early registration is open. Test Your Might here 👇
