November 2, 2003,New York, California, The largest martial arts website in the world dedicated to the youth of martial arts, Karate Kidz Online, announced their choices for the Best of the Best" martial arts non-tournament events for 2004.
Over the course of a year there are several martial arts banquets, trade shows, and non-tournament related events. Through extensive research we have narrowed our choices of the best of the best martial arts related banquets (including hall of fames), trade shows and non-tournament related events.
Our choices are not based on attendance, they are based on the quality and the degree of the actual contribution that it makes to the martial arts community as a whole. We at Karate Kidz Online refer to this as our A list of martial arts events, the events on this list were compiled to give the martial arts community a gauge on the quality, contribution level, purpose and organizational level of such events through out the year, we are only listing the events that we feel are worthy. If any event was overlooked it was either we werent aware of its existence or that we were aware.
