competition and will feature forms, sparring, and skits, depending on the
martial art. The taekwondo tournament will include forms
(poomsae) and sparring (kyurogi), wushu will have forms in both open hand and weapons, tai chi will be sponsoring a push hands
tournament, and karate will feature
both forms (kata) and sparring (kumite).
which features four rounds of sparring for advanced students: kicking
and punching above the waist, standing throws, grappling or wrestling,
and a fourth round that combines the previous
three together. In the interest of
safety, we also offer beginning students a competition that only
features
grappling with no strikes. In
addition to sparring, the self-defense yongmudo
tournament will also feature a skit competition.
Self-defense yongmudo is a Korean combination martial art
that mixes hand and foot strikes with throws, joint locks, ground
techniques, and everyday weapons such as belts, canes, short sticks, and
kubatons.
