Introduction:
Dear Masters & Instructors,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you and your members to participate in the Hutt City Taekwondo
Open 2015. This event is being held on Saturday 4th July 2015 at the Hutt Valley Badminton Hall, Cnr
Vogel Street & Naenae Rd, Naenae, Lower Hutt and it is a one day event.
The tournament is expected to attract over 120 competitors from Taekwondo organisations throughout the
Central Region and around New Zealand.
This tournament is also open to white belts and yellow tabs and a seperate division (10-9 grade division)
will be used to encourage 1st timers to experience sparring in a safe environment and to build confidence in
performing poomsae.
We will also be running a FREE jumping front kick competition with prizes for first, second and third
placings.
To ensure that competitors are not disappointed Instructors should check that the correct information is
entered on the entry forms. All entry forms & payment must be received by Friday 26th June.
No late entries will be accepted
There will be a shop operating upstairs to purchase food and drinks throughout the day. There will be a
seperate catered area set aside for the officials lunch in the lounge area. Club instructors/coaches are also
welcome to join us for something to eat during the lunch break.
Due to the size of the tournament we also ask that all clubs nominate 2 officials (who are not competing or
coaching) to ensure that the tournament is run as smoothly as possible.
Points that need to be noted by all Coaches and competitors:
1. It is compulsory for all fighting competitors to wear mouth guards when sparring.
Mouth guards must be transparent or white.
2. ALL competitors are required to wear both shin and instep guards (or foot socks).
3. No head contact for all grades 14 years and under except for Cadets 12-14 years who are competing
in the Cadet Black belt division.
4. Competitors may wear WTF approved gloves.
5. Finger and toe nails must be trimmed.
Kind regards,
Greg & Vai
