North Midlands Derby Comp July 10th 2022.

/

Dear Instructor,

I would like to welcome you and your students, along with the North Midlands Instructors, to come along, take part and enjoy our North Midlands Championships 2022.

The Championships have taken place in Derby & Notts for over 20 years, and are viewed as one of the “friendliest” events in the TAGB Calendar, and an event where new competitors can sample the competition arena through a number of tailored events.

This year’s North Midlands Championships are on Sunday 10th July 2022 at the Wildcats Arena, Nottingham.

Please note: DO NOT USE the standard T.A.G.B. championships entry form, the North Midlands Championship has different weight divisions to a national championship, so please use the entry form enclosed.

Please note the strict closing date will be Sunday 3rd July.

Students can also fill in and print off the Student’s Entry Form on the North Midlands website www.nmtkd.org.uk, after that all they have to do is hand it to their Instructor with the entry fee. Please note: Only instructors can enter students, students will not be allowed to enter themselves.

Children under sixteen can only pay half price on the door and this will be at the organiser’s discretion. Instructors please enter each school on separate School Entry Lists. A blank schools list is available in the pack, or you can enter students online via the Official TAGB Schools Programme.

Each school Instructor is asked to provide qualified officials if possible. All officials are appreciated, without your support there would be no event.

Once again, we are including the Ultimate Striker power and reaction time competition, and the North Midlands special Executive Black Belt Event combining patterns, sparring and power test. We also have two events specially for juniors, Speed Kicking and Flying Side Kick!

I look forward to you joining us for an enjoyable 2022 Championships. Regards,
Grand Master Sergiew 9th Dan.

THIS IS A COMBINED PATTERNS, SPARRING AND STRIKE PAD EVENT.

Ladies and Men will compete separately with no weight divisions. Entrants in this event may also compete in the traditional Black Belt divisions if they wish.

The Pattern section will be run under European pattern knock-out rules, where two competitors will at the same time perform a pattern STRICTLY taken from the three for their next grading, the pattern considered the best performed by the judges, is awarded 2 Points.

In the Sparring section the winner of each 2 min bout will be awarded 2 Points, (1 point to each competitor in the event of a draw).

The event-draw will be made on the day. Each competitor will compete in a minimum of 2 bouts of sparring and patterns.

The final placings will be based on the overall points accumulated for wins in the Sparring and Patterns sections, based on 2 Points for every bout won of Patterns or Sparring. Any competitor receiving a bye will also receive 2 points.

The total pattern points and sparring points, earned for each bout won, will be added up to give the 1st or 2nd, and 3rd highest placed scores for Gold or Silver and Bronze.

The two highest scores will compete a final bout of each, sparring + patterns +power strike pad consecutively (the order decided by the toss of a coin). Highest points of the 3 disciplines the winner. (In the event of a tie, the finalists will be weighed and the lightest awarded the win).
