What was new in 2004 |
|
|
| |
|
The year's event promised to be one of the best
martial arts tournaments ever held in Canada and the
Canadian Open Martial Arts Challenge kept it's promise..
The Canadian Open featured top black belt competitors
from across Canada as well as the World Sport Karate
Federation International circuit, competing in 125
divisions. The Canadian Open also featured 75 under belt
divisions using the Tour Canada rules. As in years past
all our under belt divisions ran smoothly from 11:00am to
2:00pm on Saturday. The event featured several new and
exciting improvements: |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
- Separate Extreme forms Divisions for those
competitors who incorporate a high level of
gymnastics, acrobatics and tricks into their
forms.
- Open Forms Divisions, for those competitors who
incorporate more traditional martial arts
techniques and less gymnastics, acrobatics and
tricks into their forms.
- Extreme tricks competition sponsored by Century
Martial Arts. Competitors have 30 seconds to
perform sequences of trick routines. The prize is
a $500 Century Gift Certificate.
- New Kempo, Korean, Soft style and Japanese
traditional divisions have been added to give all
competitors a fair chance in forms competition.
- Team Forms division can feature 2 to 5
competitors with an option of using music and or
weapons. The top two Teams will perform in the
Evening Finals Show. The prize money will equal
50% of the total registration fee collected.
- Three separate weapons categories for Black
belts. Traditional weapons where the score is
based on a competitors ability to perform basic
strikes and blocks, Open weapons where
competitors scores are based on a combination of
traditional martial arts techniques with
creativity and the Extreme weapons where a
majority of a competitor's score is based on
degree of difficulty in handling the weapon.
- All Black Belt grand championship divisions will
be held in an Evening finals show on Saturday
night. All competitors can use their wristbands
to attend the show for FREE.
- This year the Tournament hotel, The Hilton is
connected to the London Convention Centre.
Competitors do not have to venture outside in
order to compete. The hotel will fill up soon so
book your room early.
- Two separate prices for registration. Black Belt
registration will reflect the cost of most
National events across the country. Under Belts
will have a lower fee for their registration.
- All competitors who take advantage of the early
bird registration (before September 25) receive a
$10 off coupon towards a Canadian Open Tournament
T-Shirt.
