On July 22, 2018, Georgia Martial Arts and Fitness students participated in a regional tournament consisting of six martial arts schools from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Each year, the students from these six martial arts studios compete in three regional tournaments, and this was the third.
“This particular tournament was the Black Belt Grand Championship, where black belts who had scored the most points in this tournament and the previous two tournaments, by placing in competitions, were awarded the ‘Overall Grand Champion’ trophy for each division they won,” explains Dillon Fowler.
Taekwondo students competed in multiple divisions against other regional competitors of similar age and rank. Competition areas included: forms, sparring/one steps, board breaking, musical forms, musical weapons forms, team musical forms, and team musical weapons forms.
