West Florida Chanpionships March 8, 2008

Master Regis Lima organized this tournament which will be held at Chasco Middle School in Port Richey, Florida. The Tournament Director is David Turnbull. This is an AAU sanctioned tournament and all competitors must be AAU members. Click here to see a press release for this tournament.
For more information on joining the AAU to participate or to register go to the Florida Taekwondo Federation website. This tourament is sponsored by comBATON the martial arts team sport.

comBATON is in its fourth season of play. Master David Turnbull was the first school owner to participate and has been instrumental in developing the game.

All of the players are martial artists and most are black belts. Several players hold the rank of master of their discipline. Players may be trained in Kung-fu, Karate, Taekwondo, or other kicking martial art.

It is a full contact sport and acceptable targets are the front and side torso and above the hip. The front and sides of the head are targets for the adult divisions. Junior safety rules apply for younger competitors.

comBATON requires excellent cardiovascular conditioning and sparring skills. The object of the game is to score on the opposing team's goal pole. Players may engage in sparring with multiple attackers at all points of the game. In specific circumstances, MMA style take-downs are permitted.

comBATON was mentioned in the March 2008 issue of Black Belt Magazine (p.32) and has been blogged by several popular sports websites. The Lake County version of the Orlando Sentinel published an article about comBATON in the March 23, 2007 issue.

Mount Dora Challenge

2008 Mount Dora Taekwondo Challenge and comBATON Scrimmage planned for February 9, 2008

An AAU sanctioned AAU Taekwondo Tournament is planned for February 9, 2008 at Mount Dora Middle School. Afterwards, a comBATON demonstration will be conducted. Competing martial artists are invited to stay and participate as walk-on players.


The 2008 Mount Dora Challenge, an AAU sanctioned taekwondo tournament, is planned for February 9, 2008 at Mount Dora Middle School. Immediately after the tournament, a comBATON demonstration and scrimmage will take place. Competitors are invited to stay and participate as walk-on players.

ComBATON is the newest twist in Martial Arts. Combining elements of American Football and Taekwondo, comBATON develops cardiovascular endurance and improved kicking skills. Last year's walk-on team, Yesha Taekwondo, recently joined the comBATON martial arts family and is now forming teams in the Jacksonville, Florida area.

ComBATON was mentioned in the news section of the March 2008 issue of Black Belt Magazine and was demonstrated at the Disney Martial Arts Festival in Orlando two years in a row.

Some of the local competitors planning to compete in the tournament have been playing comBATON since its inception as a martial arts team sport. Tournament Director David Turnbull's comBATON team won the comBATON for the Adult Men's Division at the last Tournament of Games in Hollywood, Fl.
