At Tiger-Rock Martial Arts, students are encouraged to participate in the annual Tiger-Rock Championship Series, which encompasses three annual tournaments. In November and March, we hold our district tournaments, which serve as the regional competition for the Greater Austin and San Antonio area. In July, we hold our National Championships, which includes competitors from Tiger-Rock academies across the country.
We feel that competition is a healthy component of your training experience at Tiger-Rock. It gives you an opportunity to pick up new skills that you may not have learned yet in regular lessons. Moreover, it presents an opportunity to achieve your personal training goals on a grander stage.
DISTRICT TOURNAMENTS
Held every November & March
The District Championships event model has been as an entry-level competitive experience for Tiger-Rock Taekwondo students. The purpose of this model is to increase accessibility and convenience in order to stimulate additional interest in first-time competitors. Many of these advantages reside in an ability to manage time, travel, and financial restraint that many consumers identify as barriers to participation.
The District Championship event competition has been created to fit an entry-level event that takes into consideration the limitation of space, staffing, and scheduling. For this reason, the competition categories are being limited to the following:
- Rank Sport Sparring
- Ho-Am Form Competition
- Cubs Competition
- XP
- Board breaking (optional)
- Agility (optional)
