She-hahp (tournaments) are controlled competitive environments that allow practitioners to display and improve their skills in a safe environment. Although some may think it is all about "who is better", that is only a part of their purpose in Songahm Taekwondo.
In general, there are basically two types of tournaments: 1. Winning a trophy at any cost, while exclaiming victory and scorning defeat 2. Competing with a good attitude (possibly winning a trophy) and learning under ideal conditions
The second is what we in Songahm Taekwondo try to achieve!
Remember that tournaments are not just for a trophy. They allow our members to meet new people, make new friends, put nerves to the test, and display skills. By focusing on these purposes, it is very possible to be happy whether one wins or loses. Most people think that the reward at a tournament is the trophy. By eliminating this idea, we eliminate the unnecessary devastation of leaving without a trophy.
