Dear Phoenix Members,
With a heavy heart, we have postponed the 2020 Fire & Ice Championships due to the restrictions in place by the Alberta Government to help keep our community safe. We were looking forward to this event as we had the biggest number of participants ever at 733. As many of you know, this is our biggest fundraising event of the year, so we will do our best to establish a new date when the restrictions are lifted. We plan to have a date set in April
At this time, we will place a tournament credit on the participants account. If you are not able to participate in the new date, this credit can be applied to testing or other events, or the 2021 event.
As a non profit club, we ask you to be patient as we reorganize. As a community, we need to ban together and support our local clubs, non profits and charities who rely on events to support us financially. We are all doing our best to be safe while we help the province contain this virus, but also please continue to support all your clubs (from Taekwon-do to soccer to gymnastics), even though some locations may have to postpone or limit classes for a few weeks. Our local clubs, non profits and charities are the heart of our communities, let's ensure they are still standing when we overcome this challenge.
Thank you again for your shower of love and support,
Master Craig Stanley

Shadow Warriors - Obstacle course and board breaking

We LOVE this event! The Shadow Warrior Obstacle Course gives our youngest Taekwon-doists the opportunity to showcase their kicks, punches, rolls, and best ninja moves in a timed obstacle course. All the participants receive cool Ninja Headbands as a keepsake for the event. They also get to break boards (styrofoam) - a Shadow Warrior favourite! The 3 fastest times in each age/gender group will get a tournament medal, Gold, Silver and Bronze!!!!
Parents, this is a super fun morning for your Shadow Warrior! We have the Shadow Warriors compete in the morning, so you will be finished before lunch - we want to be respectful of your time, so our team is super efficient. Here are the rules of the event: Shadow Warrior Obstacle Course: This will be a timed event. Divisions will be divided into age groups and gender groups. All competitors will receive ribbons. There will be additional certificate awards for the best etiquette. The 3 fastest times in each age/gender group will get a tournament medal, Gold, Silver and Bronze!!!! The course will consist of crawling, jumping, running, dodging and of course some kicking. The Shadow Warriors will be the first event called to compete Saturday morning. Shadow Warrior Board Breaking: This event will start with a kick on a paddle. The more technically correct technique will advance to the side kick or front kick break. The others will go to a stomp kick break. Divisions will be the same as the obstacle course. Cost: $40 for Shadow Warrior obstacle course and board breaking Spectators: Free Admission !

Schedule of events
Taekwon-Do tournaments are a very different type of competition when compared to other sports like hockey or soccer. Since there are over 140 different divisions there is never a time sensitive way to schedule when a person’s group may go up to compete. There are also multiple “rings” that are working so a “ring” may come open at any time, ready for the next group. Phoenix runs the divisions from the youngest age, lowest belt, upwards through the ages and belts until the oldest age. So Shadow Warriors are first followed by any non Shadow warriors aged 6,7 or 8. These 6, 7 and 8 year olds would be called with the white belts going first followed by yellow and then green. After these divisions the next age group, 9, 10 and 11 would be called with the white belts in this age group going first followed by the yellow belts then the green belts etc. Knowing this order of events allows you to at least see if you are close to being called to the on deck area. Listen to the age group and belt and you will know how close you are to being called. Competitors are called to the on deck area and then taken to the first available ring. Bring your sparring gear to the on deck area when called. The only exception to this rule would be if your division has been folded into another due to low number of entries. You would be placed into another division, possibly a different belt level or possibly a different age level. This list of “folded” competitors would be at the on deck area and announced throughout the day.
