Our annual STOMP taekwondo competition for children is running on Sunday 17th November at Eastwood Taekwondo Academy at Plumptre Hall, Church Street, Eastwood NG16 3BP (cost: £20/student).
This is a family-friendly competition for children aged 4yrs to 17yrs and open to all students from our UK ITF regional clubs in Leicester and Nottinghamshire.
The competition is held like any other taekwondo tournament, with spectators, umpires and a panel of judges, but the atmosphere is friendly and fun, and every Junior is guaranteed a medal.
See photos from last year’s STOMP here.
Times are yet to be confirmed, but I expect the younger children (4-8yrs) will start at 10am, and older children (9-17yrs) will start around 1pm. As soon as I have these confirmed I will let you all know.
