JCC is set to host the Northern Regional Championships on June 8th, 2013.
The 2013 Championship Series began with a very successful - Western Regional Conference in London on Feb 23rd 2013.
Last JCC tournament took place in Oshawa on Apil 27th completing the South Eastern Regional Conference.
The JCC (Junior Combat Classic), has a focus solely on youth, ages 5 -17, to allow them to show off their hard work and training in classes, as well as a healthy, competitive, and fun environment, with a goal to work towards.
After yet another successful year in 2012, Junior Combat Classic continues to expand ground fostering a great competitive, safe, fun and exciting environment for our youth competitors. Gold medalists from the regional tournaments will compete for free at this JCC Provincials later in the year.
The JCC is an organization with a major difference - all profits and proceeds will be put forth to the next tournament, to make that one and others to follow, the best that they can be for our youth.
