USA Karate Champion & Tokyo 2020 Olympian
15x National Champion • Team USA Captain • 4th Dan Wado-Ryu
Tom Scott is one of the most decorated karate athletes in United States history. As a Tokyo 2020 Olympian, he achieved his lifelong dream of representing Team USA on the world's biggest stage when karate made its historic Olympic debut.
With 15 national championships, 6 Pan American gold medals, and the distinction of being the first American ever ranked #1 in the world by the World Karate Federation, Tom has proven himself among the elite in international competition. His bronze medal at the 2021 World Championships in Dubai further cemented his legacy as a world-class competitor.
