This is a one day Tournament and will be a Poomsae and Kyorugi competition. The sparring will be full contact under WT rules (with NO head contact for competitors 12 years and under). Competitors should be aware of the tournament rules, safety equipment requirements, and the attached Hazard Control Plans for the major significant hazards present during the tournament competition.
Instructors Notes-
1. It is compulsory for all fighting competitors to comply with WT Kyorugi rules.
2. ALL Kyorugi competitors are required to wear protective equipment including both shin guards and instep guards/sparring socks, and mouth guard either clear or white.
