Description

The USTC Masters Challenge is our annual in-house tournament. USTC students will have the opportunity to challenge themselves in a safe and controlled environment. Students can participate in a variety of Taekwondo events. All students will be divided into categories based on age, weight, and ability at the USTC's discretion. In addition, all students will participate in Opening Ceremonies. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be awarded trophies or medals.

Students can earn 1 red star for participating. A minimum of 4 red stars are required for students to test for their Black Belt. There are only 2 opportunities to earn stars each year (US Open and MC).

Events included are listed in the MC packet. You may pick up a Masters Challenge Packet at your dojang’s front desk.

We have a number of volunteer positions available. These volunteer positions cover a wide range of skills and needs. Please find a spot where you can lend your time and skills to making our event a huge success. We need help on both Friday and Saturday.
