Where numbers allow you will compete within your own belt rank and age group only, however in some instances we will need to combine divisions/age groups to create a fair competition. This can sometimes result in competitors competing with different forms and techniques. Our judges are trained in how to fairly score forms and techniques should this occur. Any division that has less than 3 competitors will be combined with another similar rank/age to create a fair but still competitive event.

Categories include:
- Forms (Hyung)
- Techniques (Hosin Sool)
- Sparring
- Staff (Brown Belts and higher)
- Sword (Black Belts) 

- Breaking (Black Belts) 

- (World Kido Federation black belts) KiHap Hyung

Sparring - Depending on numbers you may be sparring people of different ranks but of similar age. There will be no more than one rank difference up or down. Divisions will be drawn up once registration has closed. Where possible it we will try to have same rank & age together.

There will be a food and drinks available for purchase on site.

We have a merchandise stall selling tournament t-shirts for £20. These can also be pre-ordered through your instructor.
