Phoenix Group North American Championships
Welcome to the 2nd Annual North American Championships hosted by the Phoenix Group, member of the International TaeKwon-Do Federation under President Choi Jung Hwa, son of the founder of TaeKwon-Do.
We look forward to another exciting competition this year. The North American Championships will be hosting individual competitions for all ranks and ages plus Team Events for black belts and red belts 15 years and older. The individual and team events are Patterns, Sparring, Power Breaking and Specialty Breaking.
The tournament will be held on Saturday, March 28th at Houston’s First Baptist Church in beautiful Houston, Texas. There will be a Referee Review course on Friday evening, March 27th, before the tournament open to everyone 13 and older.
The Phoenix Group is very proud and honored to have the backing of 2 national non-profit organizations, Solstice TaeKwon-Do Club and Si Jak. Both of these organizations have supported the Phoenix Group and are providing assistance for these North American Championships. We are grateful for their help and support.
The North American Championships was created for our competitors and authorized by both INOs as a proving ground for students who have aspirations to compete in international competitions and the World Championships. This tournament is utilized by our team coaches to identify, evaluate and assess black belt competitors who will eventually become Team USA at our next World Championships.
The tournament will be followed by USA Worlds Team Training on Sunday, March 29th.
Don’t miss this exciting weekend of TaeKwon-Do competition!! We hope to see you there!!
