Tournaments
No matter your experience level, participation in tournaments is a culmination of your hard work in practices and dedication to the team. It's also a great opportunity to bond with and support your teammates!
CUTKD attends a number of tournaments at different institutions throughout the academic year. Many these are a part of the Eastern Collegiate Taekwondo Conference (ECTC), our regional league. We also attend one competition each spring for the National Collegiate Taekwondo Association (NCTA).
Consider signing up for our next tournament!
