Martial Arts Party Ideas and Supplies

Use a white or black tablecloth. Have various solid colored cups, plates and napkins representing the different belt colors in the martial art discipline you're celebrating. If you don't have a particular style in mind, you can use yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown, red and black.
Teach everyone to count from one to ten in Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese - or whatever appropriate language for the art you are celebrating. Check out a book at the library or look up counting online to see how to pronounce the numbers. Or, if you have a martial artist in your home, he or she probably knows how to count in that language.
Make a Gi cake. (the white outfit worn during martial arts training). You can make a large sheet cake and cut out the outline of the uniform. Then ice it with white frosting and pipe a colored belt across the middle. Or, use a full rectangle cake for the body and cut another rectangle cake or two into pieces to use for the arms and legs.
Serve steamed vegetables and rice or noodles with chopsticks. You can also find recipes for dumplings or wontons online. If your guests are more finicky eaters, prepare a SMALL amount of each and have everyone taste test a little bit of everything to experience a new culture.
Chopstick races! Create an obstacle course for players to go through while carrying a marshmallow or a ping-pong ball with two chopsticks. See who can go through the course the fastest. Alternatively, you can have relay races. Have two teams and the players have to carry a marshmallow on their chopsticks across a room, around a table or line, and then back to the line and pass the marshmallow to the next racer. The first team to complete the race wins.
Karate chop a pinata! Use a thinner paper bag - or create one out of wrapping paper - and hang it up. Players have to swing at the pinata with their hands and yell the proper ki-yop! to hit the pinata and win the toys and candy inside
