Tournaments are key to being a successful student in Moo Sul Kwan. Students will improve in their Taekwondo training but also develop and improve important life skills. Students will get valuable feedback from both their fellow competitors and judges on how they can improve. Students also learn the value of competition. Competition inspires everyone to work harder in class to continue to improve. Students also learn how to understand and follow rules of competition. 

Students will also benefit from tournaments by building relationships with their peers. At tournaments students have the opportunity to meet other students around their age and belt level as well as everyone else in the Moo Sul Kwan family. Students will also learn to respect others such as their fellow competitors. Also to respect and listen to those in authority. Also participants will learn to have good sportsmanship by learning to show respect to their fellow competitor regardless of the results of the competition. 

Participating in Tournaments also gives students the opportunity to compete on their own which will help them learn to think as an individual. In doing so students will also develop confidence in themselves. 

Tournaments help students develop essential skills both in Taekwondo and in life. Tournaments push students to strive for the next level of their training. Don’t miss your chance to participate in the 34th Denver Martial Arts Championship and register today!
