We’re very excited to announce our first ever Tournament Taster Day, on Sunday 9th June at the Emersons Green Village Hall. It will consist of an explanation of events and rules at competitions, along with a chance for students to try patterns and/or free sparring in a tournament style set up.
This event is a great learning opportunity for Coloured Belt students of all ages and grades, experienced competitors and novices alike. It will be a friendly, supportive event focussed on improving confidence and having fun. It will also provide a fantastic opportunity for our many Black Belts to gain experience and feedback on their Umpiring and Refereeing skillsets.
The session will run for 3 hours from 1pm to 4pm, will be open to all NMA students regardless of which Club or class you usually attend, and will be completely free of charge. As we are limited on space we unfortunately won’t be able to accommodate any spectators, so parents won’t be able to stay and watch, but we will have staff available to escort children to the toilets if necessary.
If you would like to take part in this event please fill out the form below. Unlike standard competitions which have pre-set divisions which you select based on your gender, grade and height/weight, we will divide you into groups nearer the time to ensure everybody has the best tournament-like experience.
