TOURNAMENT DIVISIONS
Individuals can compete in traditional Tang Soo Do forms, weapons forms and point sparring. Schools are also encouraged to field teams for our team form divisions for both gups and dans. There are 100 divisions and awesome SoCAL SHOWDOWN medals for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. There are also Grand Champion trophies for black belt forms, weapons and men's and women's sparring.
