KOC Martial Arts Tops the Medal Table at Karate Ontario Selection-1
KOC Martial Arts finished first in the medal standings at the Karate Ontario Selection-1 Elite & Rec on September 27, 2026. The club won 23 medals, including 15 gold, 5 silver and 3 bronze, and its gold count was the highest of any club. Satori Dojo was close behind in second with 21 medals (12 gold, 8 silver, 1 bronze). RSKarate took third with 17 medals, including 9 gold. 6Tigers Academy ranked fifth on gold count but won 16 medals in total, more than fourth-place Toraguchi Martial Arts. That puts both RSKarate and 6Tigers within striking distance of the leaders. More than a dozen Ontario clubs won gold, so KOC’s early lead is real but not safe, and the top clubs will be pushing to close the gap at the next selection event.
