Will I have to compete in tournaments?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for the University of Conn...
If you want to. We participate in a number of regular competitions as a supplemental form of training and a means to test skills. Competition is stressed as an important, but optional, training opportunity. Tournament prowess is not a goal in traditional karate. More important is development of body, mind and a non-violent philosophy.

No, not usually. At this school we focus on internal validation rather than external. In tournaments, students are pitted against each other in competition.

Will I be expected to compete in tournaments?

America Taekwondo Center: Frequently Asked Questions
No. While we've had many students compete (and excel) in state and national tournaments, we don't emphasize or require tournament competition. We view the "sport" of taekwondo training. We want our students to improve their bodies and minds by experiencing the full spectrum of taekwondo, including traditional and modern techniques, drills, "forms" practice (sequences of techniques that simulate combat), self defense, mental training and sparring.

Gentry Martial Arts - FAQ
While GMA does compete in TKD tournaments, the degree or emphasis sport plays in one's overall training is largely determined by individual interest. Research suggests that an over-emphasis in sport can lead to the negative consequences of martial arts, not the positive consequences. But when approached correctly, Tae Kwon Do sparring and competition can be a vehicle for learning both mental and physical lessons.

Whitman College Fencing - FAQ
Yes. However, unlike in sport fencing it is not our primary purpose or interest. In classical fencing we are interested in studying and recreating a martial art and a dueling style, and the emphasis is on training as if for a real encounter, not a tournament. However, competitive situations can be fun, and often serve as valuable learning experiences, as well as chances to go out and do what we love with people of similar interests from other organizations.
