Competitions and Competition Training
We will be going to the 7th Annual Founder's Championship on Saturday, December 2, 2023 in Fairfield, NJ (20 minutes by car from Montclair).

Events at the competition include Patterns (called Open Forms), Board Breaking and Sparring, as well as Team Forms.

Going to the competition (whether to compete or just watch) and the competition training are a fun optional add-on to your regular practice.

Who can compete?
There are divisions for Mighty Lions, Juniors and Adults. There are also beginner divisions which means students who only know Four Direction Punch or Chun-Ji can compete with other beginners with their pattern or board breaking.

Photo of the men's changing room with no people in it, of course. There are white wooden cabinets and blue privacy walls around the toilet area.

The changing rooms have showers, and we have a gender-neutral bathroom, plus individual-use changing rooms.
