Competitions
 
Competitions are a great fun element to Tae Kwon-Do, where a student can spar against an opponent in the ring or perform a pattern in front of judges.  Some comps even allow a demonstration of power as students compete in break boards with an array of hand and foot techniques.  See VIDEOS
 
Competitions help a student to build confidence in their own abilities and to learn from other competitors.  And they're a great way to build a network of friends throughout the UK and beyond. 
 
This page contains information about upcoming and past competitions.  The GTI organises a number of competitions each year.
