What is the Bro TKD Open?

The Bro TKD Open, the Brownsville Taekwondo Open, is a taekwondo tournament hosted by Galvan’s Martial Arts at the Brownsville Sports Park gym. It is one of six tournaments on the CTF (Chinmukwan Taekwon-Do Federation) circuit; the other five are run by other schools.

It is a taekwondo tournament, not a karate tournament, though plenty of families call it one. Students from any school are welcome, from beginners to black belts and from kids to adults.

Why is it called “Your First Tournament”?

Because it is built for competitors who have never stepped into a ring before, as well as for the ones who have. Divisions are grouped by age and belt rank, by weight for sparring, and by gender in most adult divisions, so a first-timer competes against people at their own level.

You do not have to train at Galvan’s Martial Arts to enter. Every school is welcome.
