We will be using the electronic Dadeo gear for all ranks and age groups. Electronic socks will be available at the venue to rent - $10.

This year our tournament will be aPRE-REGISTRATION ONLYEVENT. There will be no registration at the door. The doors will open at 8:30 AM; our coaches and referee meeting will be at 9:00 am and competition will start at 9:30 AM SHARP!

The tournament will be held at the GARDEN CITY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. Since the gym has an arenastyle format it should help us control the flow of the rings and spectators better. The sparring competition will be judged using modified WTF sparring rules in ALL DIVISIONS.I look forward to seeing everyone and hope that you will join us for some fun, excitement, and great Taekwondo competition.
