Dear Shihans, Senseis, Coaches, and Competitors

Saint Augustine, Florida

Come and Join us in the Oldest City of Charm, Culture, and Historical Integrity. The city of Saint Augustine, Florida, is deemed the oldest occupied city in the Unites States of European and African settlement. St. Augustine was founded in 1565 by a Spanish Conquistador by the name of Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain.

This beautiful city is full of immense ocean views, historical landmarks, knowledge, entertainment and pleasures that will amaze any traveler across the globe. St. Augustine has been home and favored of many famous and most recognized icons such as, Clint Eastwood, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, and Will Smith. Other icons attended school in the historical city such as Ray Charles who attended the Florida School of the Deaf and Blind. Frequent visitors such as Vanilla Ice who is truly cool as ice for owning homes near the locally favored A1A Beachfront Avenue.

St. Augustine is the place to visit for Historical Landmarks such as the Castillo de San Marcos, a 17th-century Spanish stone fortress that is overlooking the Matanzas Bay. Take a walk down the historical favorited St. George Street, a no cars allowed, pedestrian-friendly area that is lined with cobble stone streets, unique shops, eateries, and historic buildings. Dive into the Cultural Richness and immerse into a mixture of Spanish, British, and American influences that has prominently shaped the city’s heritage.

The city holds the essence of relaxation with its Pristine Beaches and sun driven shores such as Anastasia State Park and St. Augustine Beach.

St. Augustine holds the key to unlock the gates of attractions such as the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, Pirate & Treasure Museum and Ripley’s Believe it or Not.

Hungry? St. Augustine can offer you an experience of World-Class Dining with local favorites such as seafood, Spanish-inspired cuisine, and a variety of vegan-friendly dishes.
