Posts Tagged ‘World Taekwondo’

Dear School Owner, Master Instructor, Black Belts, and Taekwondo Enthusiast’s,

A little over 2 weeks and counting down to the 1st Annual World Taekwondo Alliance Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship in Waldorf Maryland on May 11th!

I hope you and your students are planning to attend. I have attached BELOW all the information you should need. However if you have any questions feel free to contact me at 301-643-9958 or e-mail me at jc111255@aol.com.

The link below contains registration forms for athletes, pre-paid spectators, coaches and volunteers, and officials. These can be printed out, completed and mail/fax/e-mail in (we only accept MONEY ORDERS or CREDIT CARD). OR, if you are a coach, official, or athlete, you can log-on to TOURNEYREG.net, create an account, register for the tournament, and pay on line with a credit card. Pre-registered spectators can only register with the attached registration form.

The competition will be ran using AAU TKD Rules (with only a couple of divergences), since this is what most of you are use to. A copy of the rules is in the attachment. The only changes are highlighted in yellow.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF ANY ORGANIZATION TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS EVENT. ONLY POINT SPARRING AND FORMS WILL BE OFFERED THOUGH. NO OLYMPIC SPARRING.

competitors will do forms and sparring in the same ring, back to back. so there won’t be any waiting around all day to compete.

BLACK BELTS AGED 15 AND UP WILL COMPETE FIRST THING IN BOTH FORMS AND SPARRING. THIS IS BEING DONE BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK/JUDGE ALL DAY AND THEN HAVE TO COMPETE. THIS WAY YOU COMPETE, YOUR DONE, AND YOU CAN FOCUS ON OFFICIATING. BY THE WAY, IF YOU OFFICIATE OR VOLUNTEER FOR THE DAY, I’LL REFUND YOUR COMPETITION ENTRY FEE AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE TOURNAMENT!

SCHOOL OWNERS WHO BRING COMPETITORS AND PRE-REGISTERED SPECTATORS WILL BE REBATED A PERCENTAGE OF THOSE COMPETITORS AND SPECTATORS ENTRY FEES (DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER THEY BRING). THIS IS COMPLETELY EXPLAINED IN THE ATTACHMENT.

Again, I hope to see you on May 11th.

TAE KWON!

For those of you interested in the World Taekwondo Alliance National Championship, June 27-29, 2013, in Memphis, TN.  I have created a page on our website that contains information about the championship including events, divisions, sparring rules, team rules, etc.  It sounds like this is going to be a GREAT weekend!  Bookmark and check out the WTA page weekly for updated and additional info I will post as I receive it.
