Core Martial Arts & Fitness, LLC and Moo Do Academy of Martial Arts, LLC are proud to announce the Third Annual Palm Coast Open Martial Arts Tournament to be held on March 9, 2019 from 11:00 AM-5:00 PM at the Flagler Palm Coast High School Gymnasium, 5500 FL-100, Palm Coast, Florida 32110.
Our tournaments offer the excitement of competition with multiple disciplines which allows everyone to celebrate the diversity of the martial arts.
The doors will open at 10 AM to allow participants to verify registration and to prepare for their competition.
The tournament is open to all traditional martial arts styles and disciplines, and will feature 4 Divisions:
• Individual Forms/Katas
• Team Forms/Katas (teams of three individuals) and Bunkai (application)
• Light Contact Point Sparring
• Competitive Board Breaking
Spectators:
There is a spectators fee of $3.00 per person which will be collected at the door. Children 6 years and under are free.
As in our past tournament these proceeds will be donated to local Flagler County charities.
Divisions:
The Colored Belt Divisions will be divided by age, gender and time training for ages 6 – adult.
The Blackbelt Division will be divided by age and gender for ages 10 – 15 years and 16 years and up.
Team Forms with Bunkai may have mixed gender.
NOTE: Tournament Age is determined by the competitor’s age on September 9, 2019.
On the day of the tournament, if a competitor is within 6 months of their next birthday, they will compete in the age division they would be in on their next birthday.
This effectively means that your age will be rounded to the nearest whole year.
For example:
If you are 7 years and 6 months old on the day of the tournament, your tournament age would be 8 years.
If you are 7 years and 5 months old on the day of the tournament, your tournament age would be 7 years.
Months of Experience / Belt Color:
The competitor must compete in the highest belt rank and the months of training achieved even if the competitor has changed styles.
In the event of a belt rank question, to ensure the safety and fairness of all competitors, the months of training takes preference over belt color.
• Beginner color belts will have 12 months or less of continuous training. (e.g. white, yellow, orange, gold)
• Intermediate color belts will have 12 to 24 months of continuous training. (e.g. green, blue, purple)
• Advanced color belts will have over 24 months of continuous training. (red, brown belt or sash)
Awards:
Trophies and/or Medals will be awarded to the 1st place, 2nd and 3rd place winners.
Participation medals will be awarded to those who do not place in their division.
Our Pledge:
As in our past tournaments we are committed to adhering to the highest standards possible to insure a fair, safe, and memorable experience for all.
Judging will follow the competition rules used in the First Annual Palm Coast Open Martial Arts Tournament and will be supplied in advance to participating schools for review and clarification. The tournament rules of the World Tang Soo Do Association and the World Karate Federation were used as guidelines for the development of our tournament rules.
To allow for all styles and schools entering the tournament to be well represented and to assist with judging accuracy and conflict resolution we are requesting participating schools to provide Judges, Timekeepers and Scorekeepers. Judges must be a Black Belt and at least 17 years old from participating schools. Scorekeeper/Timekeeper maybe anyone over the age of 15 affiliated with participating schools. Scorekeeper/Timekeeper volunteers will receive free admission to the tournament.

It is the intention of the organizers of the Annual Palm Coast Open Martial Arts Tournament to make every effort to place participants in their proper divisions based on gender, age and months of training experience.
However, to make our tournament both challenging and rewarding for the participants and spectators each division must consist of at least (3) competitors. In instances where there are not a minimum of (3) competitors in a division the organizers will give them the choice to compete in the next closest age and months of training division by gender thereby eliminating the original division/s they were assigned to. If a competitor is under the age of 18 they must receive approval from their instructors and parents to move up in the light contact division. This includes moving advanced to a Black Belt Division.
