Friday night Forms Tournament

Friday night there was a Forms tournament. There were several rings running at the same time, and participants were divided up by rank, age-categories and gender (for adults).

For safety, the rules of the tournament were no contact, with points only scoring to thr front of the trunk (below the neck, above the belt, back not allowed). Kicking techniques score 2 points and hand techniques score 1 point. Sweeping or take-downs not allowed.

Saturday Breaking Practice

As part of Saturdays training everyone got a chance to practice breaking techniques with boards. Everyone got 5 boards they could practice with and could go around to different stations with experience high ranking black-belts that could help guide them in their techniques.
