SPARRING IN TIGER ROCK TKD 
 







Level 2 Green Belts 
and above
 are afforded the opportunity to free spar in the classroom.Free sparring is a simulation of a self-defense situation where two students, very carefully and with great exercise of control, block and counter each other's techniques in a "free" or open movement format. We require that full sparring equipment be worn at all times while free sparring.
Equipment Requirements
Parents and students are reminded that all students will be required to demonstrate contact skills at their next testing. Focus Targets are available for purchase at the Academy to help students practice these techniques. Each student should have a focus target as part of their equipment. Also, Level 3 Green, Blue and Brown Belts will be required to board break at the next testing. All Red and Black Belts will also be required to break for their next rank. Focus targets are great for practicing breaking, but an even better piece of equipment is the rebreakable board. These are also available for purchase. Please see a member of our staff to purchase these essential pieces of gear.

Dear Parents and Students,
We hope that you are all enjoying this Independence Day weekend! WE WILL BE OPEN ON MONDAY JULY 5TH!!!
 This is week is SPARRING week. Sparring is one of the most exciting and fun experiences of the martial arts. We will be discussing the different types of sparring in the Tiger Rock system, including tournament sparring, sparring for testing, one step and three step sparring and free sparring in the classroom.  

 We will also be working to make our sparring safe and also working to make sparring combinations a wonderful expression of Tiger Rock TaeKwonDo.
 
Because the emphasis in the classroom this week will be sparring,  we ask that all students please practice their forms at home this week.
