RULES

PATTERNS (Tuls)

All pattern divisions will judged according to the ITF rules, however, in the spirit of competition; we will be running each category in a "single elimination" style tournament. 

Each round will feature two competitors facing off, performing the pattern of their level (or of one level below). The winner will be determined by majority vote of the judges.

The winners of each patterns match will be selected based on Technical Correctness, Power, Sinewave, Rhythm (the flow), Correct Breathing and Competitor Attitude (etiquette)!

SPARRING (Matsogi)

All sparring divisions will judged according to the ITF rules, also under the style of "double elimination" style (for categories with 5 or more competitors). This means you are not eliminated from the competition until you have attained two (2) match losses. For categories of 4 or less, it will be a pool/round robin style. Each competitor will compete against everyone else in the category.

Each round will feature two competitors facing off. Black belt categories will be 2 rounds of 2 minutes and color belts will be 1 round of 2 minutes per match. The winner will be decided by majority vote of the judges based on the number of points scored throughout the match.

The point system is as follows:

1-point for any punch to the body or head

2-points for any kick to the body

3-points for any kick to the head
