BTCB British International Taekwondo Open Championships
An open championship is the one format where a club fighter and a continental champion can end up on the same mat, and the entry below is written for exactly that audience: come and watch the elite squad, then watch the juniors who are chasing it.
Martial arts almost never get a listing page of their own on a city events diary, which makes this one unusual enough to keep. How a multi-mat event is run and marshalled is the kind of thing the desk covers in Matchday.
The British elite team and junior squad will pit their skills against the best in the world, including Olympic, World and European champions.
