Welcome from the Taekwondo Union of New Zealand President
Dear Instructor,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you and your members to participate in the 2018 TUNZ Top of the South
Championships. This event is being held on Saturday 20th October 2018 at the Marlborough Lines Stadium

The tournament is expected to attract competitors from UNION member clubs and other Taekwondo organizations throughout New Zealand. This is a one-day event including:
- Kyorugi
- Individual Poomsae
- Pairs and Team Poomsae competition
To ensure that competitors are not disappointed, Instructors must check that the correct information is entered on all entry forms.
- All entries must be received by 5 pm Friday 5th October 2018.
- Late entries will incur a late fee of $10 per person.
- Competitors withdrawn after October 13th will forfeit their entry fee.
Points that need to be noted by all Instructors and competitors:
1) It is compulsory for all fighting competitors to comply with WTF Kyorugi Rules.
2) ALL Kyorugi competitors are required to wear protection equipment including both shin and instep guards/sparring socks.
3) Black Belt competitors must wear WTF approved gloves. It is recommended that all competitors have gloves as a precaution against injury.
4)The Daedo system will be used for the Black Belt Kyorugi events. Black Belt competitors must wear the Daedo Electronic sparring socks. Each Black Belt competitor must supply their own pair of Daedo
Sensor socks. These can be ordered from Auckland Martial Arts (www.amas.co.nz).
We are sure that this year's TUNZ Top of the South Championships will be as successful as previous years and with your input it will be an event to remember.
