My recommendation

If you're using this list to identify potential tournament vendors, exhibitors, or customers for your martial arts supply business, I would pay particular attention to:

ATA regional and national events.
AAU and USA Karate championships.
USA Taekwondo national events.
AGF and NAGA competitions.
Independent karate tournaments.

These provide a good mix of regional tournaments and larger competitions.

A couple of verification notes: The USA Taekwondo calendar currently publishes the six dates above, but the locations need confirmation. Some smaller karate listings also provide incomplete city information. I would verify those before making travel arrangements.
