Han Guk Mu Sool Tournament May 2025

Martial Arts Carterton - Getting Ready for the Tournament We had lots of fun at May's tournament this year, with some fantastic displays from the senior belts and a great collection of medals for our school. It was held in Banbury, Oxfordshire, which is a perfect location for our school to be able to attend. This year the tournament was an Open Tournament, inviting students of Taekwondo, Karate, Hapkido, Kickboxing, Kung Fu, Han Guk Mu Sool, and any other style. The tournament hosts sections for forms (both empty hands and as well as weapons), partner techniques, ultra-light contact sparring, grappling, board breaking, and staff spinning.

We truly enjoyed the impressive demonstrations featured at the tournament. The sword work was particularly captivating, showcasing incredible skill and precision, and the empty hands forms were equally engaging, highlighting the fluid movements and disciplined techniques of the practitioners.
