We know Texas ain’t just about football.

The University of Texas Sport Taekwondo Team will be hosting the Southwest Conference Taekwondo Fight-Offs once again. After last year’s success, we will be doing it bigger and better. This competition will be all about Olympic style sparring.

From college teams like Texas A&M, Baylor, Sam Houston, Rice, national team members, and those ambitious athletes who want to prove themselves, we have some serious match-ups.  Most of these schools are preparing for National Collegiates in April and have been training hard throughout the year. It’s time to test their skill level against the best.

A ranking system will be implemented into the competition for future Southwest Conference competitions. Certified WTF Officials will be running the matches. There will also be a certified medical trainer on board to provide assistance.

- Must be at least 17 years old to compete
