FAQ

Which Pass Should I choose?

If you have one or two participants, opt for the "Tournament Competitor" category. For three or more participants, designate two as "Tournament Competitors" and one as an "Additional Family Competitor."

Select "Tournament Competitor + Board Breaking" if you intend to participate in both categories. Opt for "Board Breaking Only" if you prefer not to compete in Forms or Sparring. (Applicable to Black Belt Competitors aged 18 and above.)

Can I participate in Board Breaking?

You must be a Black Belt & 18+ years old to participate in Board Breaking.

If you have registered for board breaking, don't forget to purchase your boards!

What time should I arrive?

Our tournaments start at 9 am with Opening Ceremony. Staging times are posted at least a week before tournament. We will not call divisions before their scheduled time.

How soon can I expect to finish?

The staging time represents the earliest moment for your competition, but the actual competition time varies depending on the day. The speed at which we can arrange your entry into the ring relies on factors such as the number of staffed rings, the scheduled divisions preceding yours, and other considerations. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

During the wait, take the opportunity to observe and cheer on the competitors in the neighboring rings!

Is my sparring gear approved?

The CTF suggests the use of sparring gear coated with foam, emphasizing that it must be devoid of any rips or tears. Optimal visibility is achieved with Black or Red gear, while the use of White hand and foot gear is discouraged. The visibility challenge arises from the combination of a white uniform and white gear, making it difficult for judges to observe contact. Here are examples of approved sparring gear for your reference:

Can coaches provide guidance or coaching during matches?
