"THE SHOWDOWN"

Registration Form  Poster    Map 

Above you will find a registration form, and a flyer for the up coming Taekwondo Championships. "The Showdown" will be held Saturday November 14^th, 2009 at The Washington County Fair Park Pavilion (Information call 262-483-5955)

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this letter and considering the "The Showdown" as the first all Olympic Style Sparring tournament in the State of Wisconsin.

Our main focus is to bring a new look to the Taekwondo Tournament scene. Some of the new ideas will hopefully raise the spirit of competition. ie: The Challenge Mat: This mat will run continuous all day long. "The Challenge Mat" will allow competitors to challenge another fighter within guidelines. (Both Fighters, Both Coaches, and Tournament Director must all consent). Matches will consist of two 90 second rounds, No Guts, No Glory, No Medals, just bragging rights.

Spectators will be allowed to stand around the ring at this tournament, bringing school spirit back to where it was years ago. We feel the level of excitement will be higher with the backing of your entire school/team right there.

      14 and up Black Belt Sparring will run Round Robin format. Every fighter in each division will fight each other. (Let the best fighter win).

Tag Team Sparring: Black Belts 14-and up, 2 team members,

Awards for Tag Team Champions (Samurai Sword)
