The biggest ITF event in Western Canada returns to Servus Place on May 8th and 9th, 2026!
Taekwon-do students from across Canada and the USA will showcase their skills in Patterns, Team Patterns (Doubles), Sparring, and Board Breaking. Our Shadow Warrior Event will return with the classic obstacle course, Board Breaking and the newest event, Spar Wars.
PATTERN COMPETITION
Team Pattern - Doubles
This event is for colour belts and black belts. Choose a partner and create a choreographed demonstration of one of the Patterns (more details on the rules in the tournament package). The Gold Medal bout will be showcased at the opening ceremonies on Saturday morning!
SPARRING
Sparring is the combat part of Taekwon-do. Almost like a game of tag, students battle each other to score as many points as possible in a two minute round. Black Belts compete in TWO 2 minute rounds.
Black Belts will be divided by height at the rings for Short/Tall divisions.
SPAR WARS
Our newest event for Shadow Warriors is Spar Wars – kind of like a ninja version of flag football! The Shadow Warriors use their dodging and blocking skills to keep their opponent from grabbing their “Saber” while trying to use their speed to grab their opponent’s Saber!
Shadow Warrior Obstacle Course & Board Breaking
This amazing event is a race for time! Shadow Warriors race through an epic obstacle course dodging, jumping kicking and punching their way as they race the clock. At the end of the event they also get to break a board!
BONUS BATTLES
This year we are offering TWO additional categories to compete in!
For Colour Belts and Black Belts, you can register for Power Board Breaking ($25). Test your board breaking skills and see where you place based on how many boards you break! Break the required number of boards and win Gold, Silver or Bronze.
Colour Belts and Black Belts can also compete in the Team Patterns Doubles Competition ($50/ team) – an amazing display of technical precision and choreography.
Separate entry forms must be submitted for these events from Phoenix members. These are optional events and Phoenix members are not automatically entered.
