Here are the dates for the I.T.F wales grand prix. I hope this will be well attended this year. The grand prix is a very friendly way of entering the competition scene. As last year the student who gets the most points for the school will win a set of sparing gear at the end of the year.

Following the separation of the Under 13 Categories into Male and Female Divisions, and following
new EITF rules, we will be adding a -155cm and +155cm Divisions to all the Under 13 Categories.
We will also be splitting the Veteran Black Belt Patterns Division into 1st to 3rd Dan, and 4th to 6th
Dan.
The entry fee for 2009 will be a standardised £25. However students that are from schools that have a
working Umpire at the event will be entitled to a £5 refund, which will be presented to the instructor
on the completion of the competition.
Coaches for 2009 must be pre-registered so passes can be issued at least two weeks prior to a
tournament. Passes will not be released on the day of competition. A one off payment of £10 must be
sent to the UKTA head office, along with two current passport photos and your application form.
Passes are non transferable, and will be removed if coaches are in breach of the rules. The pass will be
valid for all UKTA Events in 2009.
All Photographers for UKTA Events for 2009 must be registered. There will be no passes issued as
access to ring side will no longer be available. However completion of photographers register will
ensure that UKTA Events comply to BTC recommendations and ensure our child protection policy is
followed.
Once again we ask all instructors and students to try and use only Red or Blue sparring equipment,
especially in the Black belt divisions. The following safety equipment is also compulsory:
Head guards for all Colour Belt and Under 13 Sparring Divisions.
Gum shields for all Sparring Divisions.
Groin guards for all Male Sparring Divisions, over 13.
Chest Guards for all Female Sparring Divisions, over 13.
Finally please note ITF competitors are not allowed to wear stripes on their Doboks for competition.
