S.O.U.L
Tournaments
Each year, S.O.U.L Kickboxing aims to host two exhibition sparring tournaments in which participants will engage in full contact sparring matches.
Each bracket consists of participants of a matched skill level who will compete for a Gold, Silver or Bronze medal, with black belts positioned on all exterior sides of the ring, scoring each round on things such as:
Form
Variety
Technique
Combinations
Blocking and evasive
These are in addition to other factors that the judges feel determines the overall winner - this ensures that tournaments do not descend into simply battering your opponent or seeing who gets K.O'd first, and remains firmly rooted within the key values at the heart of S.O.U.L - encouraging and honoring the artistry within martial arts, and those who practice it.
Spectators are welcome to come and watch the fights and support everyone involved!
Similar to gradings, all S.O.U.L members can reserve their spot in upcoming tournaments via a sign up sheet in class. All participants must bring their own full body sparring gear (gumshield, head guard, boxing gloves, groin guard, shin guard and foot guards)
There will also be a tuck shop available!
