At this time, all Thursday classes will be set aside for training students in preparation for competition free sparring (Gyoroogi) in Local, State and National Tae Kwon Do sanctioned Tournaments. However, in order for students to participate in these training exercises, the following sparring equipment is mandatory. They are:
- Groin protection (males). Female protection is highly recommended.
- Mouth piece
- Shin and Instep Pads
- Forearm protector (hand protector optional)
- Chest Protector (HoGoo), provided by school.
- Head Protector, provided by school.
Our purpose for enforcing these requirements is two-fold, one, it is to ensure the Safety and well being of our students and two, prepare as well as familiarize our students with the competition sparring rules and guidelines required for Tournament participation. Free Sparring must be performed under the supervision of a qualified Referee. Only light contact to the head is permitted while wearing headgear. USTU Rules apply. No head contact will be allowed for beginner belts. Absolutely no hand or fist contact will be allowed to the head.
If you have any questions, or require purchasing any of these equipment items, please feel free to ask me before or after class.
Sincerely,
Master Michael P. Rother
President/Founder
Ps: I wish each of you many successes on your road to victory in all tournaments scheduled in 2004.
