Academy In-house
Dojo Tournament
Each year we host an in-house tournament and particpate in a tournament for
all Shidokan schools. These are high-quality competitions for all
ages and
ranks, from White Belt to Black Belt.
Students have a choice of
competing
in either Kata (forms), Kumite (sparring) or Kobudo (Weapons).
Forms are
judged on power, grace, effectiveness, and presentation.
Light-contact sparring
is run as
a competition tree (elimination), featuring three-point or two-minute
matches,
whichever comes first. Saftey is stressed.
First through third place receive Gold,
Silver, and
Bronze medals and all particpants get a particpation medal for
their
efforts. Proper attitude is stressed at all times and
no coaching is
allowed from the sidelines.
It truly is a supportive and positive
environment to increase your confidence. Shidokan's tournament
is held each May and our in-house tournament is held either in the summer or
the fall.
