Tournament Style forms: This seminar will take the form you currently know and give you the
knowledge to convert it to become a form the judges will throw big scores at.

competitor to take some creative freedom with his/her form and have a chance to really show off
your stuff.
Judges Presentation: At National and International tournaments most events require the presentation
of the competitor to the judges. This is a big part of the scoring process for the competitor.

kicking! All participants will learn some of the building blocks to exciting kicks such as the 540 kick
and 360 kicks.
