Competition Training for 6-8-year old’s
Competition Training will prepare these young students to enter future Martial Arts Competitions for Kata and Sparring events.
Kata Training:
Students will participate in Kata Presentations that will be coached and assisted, helping the youngsters understand the participation rules and procedures as well as critiquing their performance.
- One entry coach will ensure they come forward and perform properly, and one after-score coach will review what went right or wrong.
- They will come forward, present their Kata, receive their scores, then go to the after-performance coach who will record their scores on the certificate provided.
Sparring Training:
Students will be put into groups of 4, and will compete with other groups of 4. This will provide each student with 4 practice matches.
- Age, size and experience levels will determine the groups and be divided as best as possible.
- They will wear protective equipment and receive points based on the judge’s opinions of the techniques.
- NO CONTACT is permitted, and contact above the shoulders is considered a foul, and that match is forfeit.
- A participant who commits a foul forfeits that match only, and may continue onto the next match.
- All sparring participants will record their results on the certificate provided with the Kata practice portion.
*Admission for 6-8-year old’s is a $25 fee (HST Included)*
