The Standard

We don't hold tryouts. We build champions.

The TLT Competition Team is the top of our academy — a hand-developed group of athletes who have earned their place through dedication on the mat. Many started in our Cubs and Youth programs and grew into national-level competitors.

Our competitors put in elite training hours each week in sparring (kyorugi) and forms (poomsae), guided by coaches who have produced champions at every level of the sport.
