I don't know about TKD, but in TSD, they had a "masters" devition (sp?). They had all ranks, but 4rd dan and up were included in the masters one. One tourny I went to in AC, NJ had it. I was watching all these "masters" and high ranking BB's do some amazing stuff. I was totally blown away (I was just a green belt ..... the first time). I have pics, t-shirt, and goodies from that tourny. I had a great time there (and I was just watching :D ).

Yea I have never seen someone over 3rd dan compete in karate tounaments, although sometimes in betwwen events there will be a break in which the ranking blackbelts do a demonstration and that is pretty cool to watch, but I guess they are not really competeing

Given enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is the true warrior who can master both....and surpass the result.

I'm not sure about the WTF or ITF KTiger but our Dojang is part of the CTF-(Choong Sil) & our instructor Marcus Roby-4th Dan- still competes.....
