Not a Tournament. A Festival.
The Arirang Games bring students from four different Taekwondo schools together for a day of team competition, Korean traditional games, board breaking, and team demonstrations. Every point your student earns goes toward your school's cumulative score. The school with the most points wins the Champion Belt.

Venue & Parking Walkthrough
Dress Up. Cheer Loud.
Your cheering during team demonstrations directly affects scoring — it's measured by a sound level meter. The louder your supporters cheer, the more points your school earns.
500 POINTS PER SCHOOL
Every school earns 500 points for dressing up. The best-dressed school wins an extra 500 bonus points. Think neon, denim, fanny packs, scrunchies, and windbreakers.
See You on March 21st!
