The competition will be taking place on Sunday 6th December, in Manchester. The coach will arrive to pick us up by the steam engine (on the far side of the union) at 7.15am. We’ll be leaving Manchester at 4pm and should arrive back in Loughborough around 6.30pm.
This is a national event, the other clubs from around the country will be entering. So, this is a great chance to test your ability against people you won’t have met before. There are two types of event you can enter; forms and sparring. Sparring consists of two categories, individual and open. In the individual sparring you’ll be seperated, roughly, based on height, weight and belt. The open, as the name suggests, is open to everyone and so is not recommended for the new members, unless you think you could take on the black belts 
. More information about the competition and sparring rules can be found here.
Entry to the competition is free! Forms should already have been handed out, if you haven’t recieved one and you’d like to enter speak with Becca or Alex. You will be required to wear full kit, including belt, to participate. Since you’ll be out for the whole day it is also advisable to bring a packed lunch.
It’s good fun to take part and a great experience (sparring in class doesnt quite match up). Even if you don’t plan on participating everyone is welcome to attend and help support the club. Good luck!!
