The primary objective of the championship is to enhance the skills of these budding athletes and provide them with valuable tournament experience. Winners of the event will earn a spot in the upcoming state selections, representing the district at the state championships.

Kyorugi is a practical application of Taekwondo techniques learned in Poomsae, where participants engage in controlled combat, putting their training into actual fight (in this case a competitive setting).
