Competitions 2020 and 2021
It will come as no surprise to anyone that we are not participating in any in-person competitions for the near future. We hope to return to our regular competition schedule once we can.
Under pre-COVID circumstances we offer a series of competition training classes to enrolled Junior and Adult students who are interested. These classes are offered on select Sundays in the Spring and Fall from 10:30 to noon and they focus on sparring and sparring skills. You do not have to compete just because you come to competition class.
Up until 2020 we have gone to 2-5 competitions each Spring and Fall. Most of the competitions are in the northern New Jersey area anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour way from the school. We also host an annual competition which features sparring, forms and board breaking. We encourage all of our students to participate in some way, whether by competing or volunteering to help, or just going to watch and see what the advanced levels are doing. it's a very exciting day and a lot of fun for everyone!
Students who come to competition class to try it out and who do not have fighting gear can borrow a chest guard, but they will need a complete set of gear if they plan on competing in sparring. We have fighting gear for sale and students who are Green Belt or higher should have their own fighting gear, whether they compete or not.
We look forward to the day we can safely hold competitions but until then. stay well.
