This fun competition event allows you to win additional medal. During the stick sparring you have 60 seconds to score as many points as possible with a padded stick.
Not only should you be quick, but should also be smart… defensive strategies are just as important as fast-paced combos.
TAG TEAM SPARRING!
Recommended for sparring Juniors, Teens and Adults
This fun competition is for Teens and Adults who have full sparring gear.
Team up with friends to create a 3-member team and spar against another team.
The Tag Team Sparring competition consists of teams made up of three competitors. Competitors may tag in and out with their team ONLY during a break in the match. Example: “Break” is called for by judges for points/warning; at this point competitors may tag in and out. A tag must be made before the restart of the match.
