> COMPETITION KARATE SEQUEL <

Once your student achieve the rank of red belt, one of two rates immediately await them: either they become instructors, or are permanetly retired, and      can no longer participate in the game.  Even students who are instructors eventually retire when another student challenges and wins.

To provide further action and adventure for these retired martial arts experts, a sequel program to Competition Karate is in the works at Motivated Software.   Retired" red belts" are the only characters eligible to participate in the sequel, which will place them in a world of danger, adventure and plenty more martial arts action.

Your characters will traverse treacherous country in search of a personal quest.  Along the way they will encounter temples of learning, where they can gain more martial arts knowledge as well as mystical, and even magical, training.
