ABOUT OUR TOURNAMENTS
All ages and ranks are welcome to compete at our fun, exciting, family-friendly Tournaments! Our students LOVE to compete to try and win MEDALS!
Tournaments are an opportunity for some friendly competition with peers from your taekwondo class and with new taekwondo friends. We offer a few local competitions and a few national competitions each year for our students to attend.
Students are required to attend at least one tournament before their black belt test. Students have the opportunity to compete in forms, flag sparring, contact sparring, board breaking, flag sparring, and even weapons!
