A major part of the ITC event is the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT. Participants compete in weapons, kata, sparring, team sparring, BJJ and demo team. Plaques are awarded for 1st through 3rd place in all age/rank divisions.
Black Belt competitors in forms, weapons and sparring get to compete for the title of Grand Champion and a chance to win the coveted Norris Cup. There are 7 Norris Cups in all for various forms and sparring divisions. The winners' names are engraved on the cup and they get to keep the Norris Cup for one year. Then next year, it's back up for grabs. So train hard, because the competition is always tough, but winning will be worth it!
If you are wanting to compete in the 2017 World Championships, you must register by June 15th!
