ABOUT OUR TOURNAMENTS
All ages and ranks (Members Only) 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.
We encourage attending because they’re so much FUN! Students have the opportunity to compete in forms, one-step sparring, contact sparring, board breaking, weapons, and more!
Taekwondo United Courtesy Policy: Any competitor, spectator, parent or judge that exhibits unsportsmanlike conduct, or interferes with the positive competition atmosphere will be asked to leave the facility without refund. Remember the Tenets: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit.
Note: Competition divisions are determined by rank, size, and age. Competitors may be matched with someone larger or taller than themselves. Since martial arts skills mostly rely on speed, technique, and agility, size will generally have little effect on the results of the competition.
