This annual event was 4th inter club and 1st inter school Taekwondo tournament organized by Dynamic warriors.

This two day event turned out to be a huge success, approximately 1220 students from 25 clubs and 18 school across the state, actively participated in the tournament in the course of 2 days. The championship was organized In professional decorum where many coaches, and international referees were invited from across the country to attend, participate and evaluate the tournament. The 2 day setup was done similar to a National level championship. the arena setups, score boards, and match playing patterns were reciprocated as an official tournament.

The dynamic warriors is a martial arts academy started in 2011, today having 9 branches across the city, and they also provide professional training and coaching in many schools across the town.

“This whole 6 arena setup will give you a National tournament feeling! Surat is a hub for taekwondo now not only for Gujarat but for India. 13 players from Surat are international medalists. Taekwondo is the one and only combat activity which can be seen both as sports and self-defense, it is obvious and most preferable self-defense technique around the globe and it can be considered as sports because it is an Olympic event and also unlike others this martial art form is full contact sport for kids as small as 4.” said Mr. Pamir shah.

Sports authority of Gujarat is fully supporting taekwondo “ no sport can rise and shine without the support of government, state government helps us by providing experienced coaches & professional high quality equipment and we feel very lucky that we are getting maximum support from our state govt.” added Mr. Shah.

During the course of two days team HFM interacted with some of the attendees including organizers, referees and parents of the students. People mostly prefer this form as best self -defense technique specially in this era where being able to defend yourself and possess the physical strength to do so is more essential than ever, taekwondo is considered best martial art form.

The event was also embraced with the presence of many former taekwondo players turned referees one of them was Mr. Lalit Tirkey, a former international taekwondo medalist, he has an amazing journey of being a selector, he was National head coach for India in 2019 south Asian commonwealth games and has an astonishing career as international referee. While having words with HFM Mr.Tirkey said “ I feel taekwondo is the second most emerging sport in this region after cricket but somewhere it is still lacking on international level, the problem lies somewhere in the foundational training and mindset building as most of the players in their young age play for themselves, their clubs or just for the certificate but the sense of national duty is lacking which is the main reason for the missing medals in Olympics. According to me this sport is best combination of building healthy mind, body and soul and I hope for the best results in the future.
