10th Annual TAE Senior/Junior Championships Saturday 13th October 2018
Dear Masters / Instructor,
It is with great pleasure that you and your students are invited to the 10th Annual TAE Senior/Junior Championships, to be held on Saturday 13th October, 2018 at:
Sports Central, Northumbria UniversityNewcastle upon Tyne NE1 8ST
Tel: 0191 243 7348

The competition is open to all ITF Taekwon-Do students (Strictly no Kickboxers) white belts and above, adults and juniors from all TAE schools and others by personal invitation only.
The competition will be run using ITF rules with some amendments to accommodate age and competitor levels.
We would appreciate it if all instructors could personally verify the weights and heights of competitors to help us ensure safety and help with the smooth running of the day. All competitors must wear a white ITF Dobok.
For the first time we will be using the On-Line registration system at www.kihap.com
This will give the Instructors the opportunity to access and manage their competitors.
To assist with the smooth running of the Tournament, we kindly ask all schools/associations entering the competition to provide officials. It’s always a long day for the officials as our competition attracts 300+ competitors from both North & South of the UK. The more Officials we have the more breaks they get and the more rings we have working, which helps towards an early finish for everyone who travel a long way. Ringside refreshments and Officials buffet will be supplied as we are very grateful for your time and support.
Coaches are not a requirement but are welcomed, however we respectfully ask that all coaches are to be colour belt TKD students as Black Belts will be required to officiate.
Please advertise the event at your school using the event poster attached and pass on the relevant entry form orwww.kihapp.com registration information/instructions to your students. The closing date for this competition is Saturday 6th October 2018 and all schools/competitors should be registered and payment must be received by this date.
We look forward to working with you all and thank you in advance for your support. Yours in TaeKwon-Do,
Mr Brett Stronach
6th Degree
Tournament Director
