Azmyth Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hey, quick question. If your school didn't really have any form of tournaments or what not. How would you go about competing in some anyway?

Scott James Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Just do it.Do a web search for local tournements or local circuts.You may want to aks one of the instructors. They may not promote competitions in class, but I am sure some one there knows about local competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorba Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Also check if your school is ok with tournaments. My old ITF club did not beleive in competition, so if i wanted to compete (which i wanted to, but didnt know how to go about it) i would have to enter as an individual, without a club, and also get a blank gi/dobok to compete in It takes a big man to admit when he's wrong, and I am NOT a big man.Tae Kwon Do (ITF) - 1st Dan Black BeltShotokan Karate - 6th Kyu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleung Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 You can find where open tournaments are in your region very easily on the internet these days. Just get some info from the promoters - get them to mail you a flyer. And then show up. You can either watch toget a feel of how things are or jump right in to compete.good luck ClintFree Spirit Martial Arts Activewearhttp://www.FreeSpiritActivewear.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aefibird Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 It is really quite easy to find out about torunaments and the like - google is your friend! I usually look up karate and TKD or open MA tourneys on the web & let my instructors know about them. Even if no-one from my club goes then I still go anyway (sometimes, that is!)If you really want to be more into competitions, though, then you might be better off searching for a school that likes competition fighting and promotes it. Occasional comps are fine, but if you want to be a serious competitor then you'd be better off in a competition-orienated school. "Was it really worth it? Only time and death may ever tell..."

cleung Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 You can also check the NASKA and NBL websites. Also karatetournaments.com which also lists a lot of events.
