Competitions
Once students have developed competent skills, tournaments can be entered. Competing can be exceptionally rewarding and satisfying as it is such a challenging experience.
There are two styles of tournaments in existence which Martial Art Academy of India students could enter - 'point scoring' and 'continuous'. Though full contact tournaments exist, semi contact is much preferred as the safest and most enjoyable.
Both provide the opportunity to face a challenge in the ring. Even if a trophy is not taken home - overcoming the fear and anxiety to take part leaves an overwhelming feeling of self worth and achievement. Winning is all of the aforementioned - yet the intensity and delight is multiplied by 1,000,000!!
Martial Art Academy of India students are encouraged to compete - just entering a competition is an achievement in itself as it a new found experience - something to learn from and cherish.
Competition is totally voluntary. For those not interested in competing, the grading scheme is an alternative means of measuring a student's performance. Click here to learn more about the staged syllabus within Martial Art Academy of India Grading
