FAQ

My child is 5 or 6, should I register them for Saturday or Sunday?
If you are an FMA student, and your child is 5 or 6, chances are that they are a Little Dragon. Little Dragons Divisions will take place on Sunday. Don’t know how to tell if your child is a Little Dragon? Check their belt. It will be white on the outside with a colored stripe in the middle (unless they are a white belt). Another way to tell is by asking your dojo manager, or looking at your registration for past classes. If your class name says “Little Dragons”, you know what to do!
If your child is 5 or 6 and does not belong to FMA, or has been moved up to beginner classes at FMA due to skill or experience, then you would register for the Saturday “non-Little Dragons” divisions.
What time should I arrive?
Division times are approximate, as there are many variables that can change a tournament’s schedule. Please keep an eye on myuventex.com for your updated division time. Try to arrive no later than 30 minutes before your division is set to begin.
What do I need to bring or wear?
Please see page 5 of the official bulletin for the full list of required equipment for each division.
What if I don’t know what divisions to enter?
Divisions will be shown to you based on the information you fill out during registration (age, belt level, etc). Most competitors register for both a kata (or kihon) and a kumite division. As competitors advance in the ranks, some will choose to specialize in either kata or kumite. The smartest thing to do is talk to your competitor and your sensei about the best course of action!
