H.I.T.ABOUT
Bringing Taekwondo back to its roots
While Helping Taekwondo Athletes Reach Their Full Potential!
Check out our Exhibition Match held in April 2017!
The introduction of sensors into Taekwondo has changed the way Taekwondo is played, and created mixed emotions. The H.I.T. League is for those who want to KNOW when a fighter scores. Judging is based on CONTACT, powerful techniques and ring control. "He who controls the ring, controls the outcome." This will help these athletes in ALL levels of competition. As Iron Sharpens Iron, one man sharpens another.
FIGHTERS
Only those who enjoy CONTACT will be among the fighters in the H.I.T. League.
Trembling Shock is Back!
- Move someone when you kick them
- Kick someone in the head - hard enough to rotate their shoulders
- Double Kicks off the leg are LEGAL
- Be in Shape! There is a 10 Second Attack Clock
- Fight Your Weight - Weigh-in is 1 hour before fighting!
JUDGING
One of the BIGGEST improvements in the history of combat sports. The innovative judging system (B.A.T.T. Judging System) created for this league is sure to take off with other combat sports.
Complete judge accountability!
- Visual Awareness of each judges scores - "live"
- 10:9 must system
- 4 rounds of fighting - tie goes another complete round
- Audience will be able to participate in judging, and... (We'll let you know soon)!
UNIQUE RULES
There are several rules that will keep the H.I.T. League exciting! Fighters will be motivated to stay in the fight, not gain a lead...then, "ride the clock."
Here are some exciting rules.
- 10 Second Attack Counter (fighter must attack within 10 seconds, or a 10% penalty will be assessed in that round)
- Elevated Ring (both feet out results in penalties)
- Short Rounds (4, 90 second rounds - 60 sec rest)
- 5th Round if tied after 4
- All points are valued the same - graphs indicate who is winning the round
Audience participation
Have you ever wished YOU could be the judge during a fight? In the H.I.T. League, you will get your chance.
Using "The B.A.T.T. Judging System" (which was created specifically for The H.I.T. League), the audience will actually be able to participate in judging the fights! B.A.T.T. stands for Broad Audience Tactile Technology. With this system, the live audience will also have the ability to pick the fight of the night, and several other "goodies". We are excited to bring this New Technology to the combat industry!
Stay tuned for more information on this!
PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS
If YOU would like to be a fighter in the H.I.T. League (amateur or professional), please submit your information below in the 'contact' section. Let us know that you wish to be considered a H.I.T. League Fighter. We will send you a Fighter Application. Be sure you have at least 3 videos of you fighting that you will be able to submit to us.
All fighters must be approved by Master Jeff Battenberg. If you don't know Master Battenberg, here is a video (ProTKDfight-1999) from a fight he was in with ProTKD (thank you Master Doug Fuechsel for providing a league which was ahead of its time!) In order for a league to be considered "premier," the fights must be exciting to the audience, and challenging for each fighter! If YOU think you have what it takes to be in the H.I.T. League...fill out the fighters application below!

Getting off the Ground!
This league would not be where it is today with your help. "Thank You!"
As many of you know (and several have asked me personally), YES! The hardest part of The H.I.T. League, L.L.C. is literally "Getting if off the Ground." There has been SO much support for this league, I cannot begin to express my thanks! For those interested, there is a very select opportunity for "Founding Ambassadors." For those who have stated they wanted to help NOW, here is a donate button that will help the league. All donations will go directly to the growth of The H.I.T. League!
H.I.T. League Tournament Sponsors!
We are proud to have local, and national sponsors in our league. If you are interested in becoming a Tournament Sponsor, please contact Jeff Battenberg. There are several sponsorship levels available. "Thank You!"
As most of you know, it takes a lot to put on a professional Taekwondo tournament. We thank our sponsors for helping us give these fighters an opportunity to display their God-given gifts! Finally, there is a place that Taekwondo Fighters can showcase the work, and effort they have put into their years of dedicated training! To become a sponsor, just pick a level. When we receive your sponsorship, we will reach out to you with full details!
JUDGES
Judges will be accountable during the fight -
"live displays of judges scoring will be visible to all audience members!"
Our unparalleled judging system is like none other! Fighters, coaches, and the audience will know - real time - how each judge is scoring the rounds. More to come.
Do you have any Questions/Comments??
Let Us Know!Photos and Friends of The H.I.T. League!
We now have TWO sides to The H.I.T. League! Amateur and Pro Fights! This will give everyone the opportunity to fight in The H.I.T. League.
We understand that the Pro H.I.T. league will not be for everyone. This is a professional league for fighters who want to experience full contact fighting with Taekwondo rules. We do, however, want this to be a league for everyone to watch! This is also why we have developed an Amatuer H.I.T. League with rules similar to the pros, but allowing for more sparring gear - and a varied set of rules to accommodate different levels of competition.
