I LOVE TKD - Development Tournament
Christchurch
“I Love TKD” is an initiative begun by members of the taekwondo community in New Zealand to promote the participation of taekwondo students in tournaments.
Prior to Covid, it would have expected 10% of all current students to attend at least one tournament each year. Evidence has shown that post-Covid this has dropped to 3-5%, which is not good for the devlopment of our sporting community.
As a consequence, a group of members decided to run a series of really low level tournaments aimed only at the 95% who do not attended tournaments.
The series has the support of Taekwondo New Zealand and the sponsorship of KWON NZ.

2024 Kukkiwon New Zealand Cup
WELCOME
I would like to invite you all to the second Kukkiwon Cup for Taekwondo New Zealand. I am committed to holding tournaments, events and seminars to encourage our sport to grow.

It is a great pleasure to invite you to the 2024 NZ Kukkiwon Cup. This tournament is open to all martial artists, coaches and officials. All players and coaches should be knowledgable of the WT Kyorugi and Poomsae Competition rules. Please refer to:
http://www.worldtaekwondo.org/rules-wt/rules.html

Hyeon Mu Open
Dear Master, Instructors, Coaches and Members,
We are pleased to announce the Hyeon Mu Open is back for 2024.
We have some changes (again!).
This year's changes are around the tournament format, especially around the Poomsae.
All of this is explained in the attached info pack, so please make sure you read it!
The plan is to have more mat time for your Poomsae players and not spread the officials too thin across both Poomsae and Kyorugi.
If the last couple of years is anything to go by, we expect a huge turnout again with some awesome competition.
As with every tournament, help from clubs to assist with judging and refereeing is hugely appreciated for an efficient day.
We will be following the same processes we introduced last year and will be applying what we learned to this year.
As per last year:
All individual entries will be completed electronically (link in entry pack) - please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any issues with how to complete these.
To reduce our carbon footprint - All tournament draws will be made available electronically.
To reduce our carbon footprint - Poomsae will be scored electronically and scores will be displayed on all rings (as long as we don't have technical issues).
Poomsae Judges please reach out to me!
We will have the best performing club award again which will be calculated as follows:
Each medal will be awarded a certain number of points, the total will be added and then divided by the number of entries from your club.
This is to have a weighted average which allows smaller clubs to be able to compete against the bigger clubs!
Best performing club means best performing overall.
To be eligible you must have entries across both Poomsae and Kyorugi, with a minimum of 12 entries.
Details for the best performing Kyorugi and Poomsae clubs to come on Facebook
Please feel free to forward this onto anyone that would be interested in competing.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
We look forward to seeing you in August.
Thank you
Anthony Chan
