Upcoming ATA & UTC Events



The World Wide Tang Soo Do Series Challenge

Starting in 2008, there is an international, year-long, multi-tournament competition for Tang Soo Do tournament competitors. Starting with Grandmaster Byrne's ATA Tournament in March, and running through January of 2009, participants will gain points for competing at, and winning, several different tournaments. This series will produce a Championship belt for the Adult and Junior Black Belts of the year, to be awarded at the 2009 ATA Championship Banquet.

May UTC Tournaments!

Later in May, Grandmaster Charles Ferraro will be hosting his annual tournament in West Haven, CT, on May 17. Keep an eye on his website for information.


ATA Summer Camp!

Just a reminder that the ATA will be meeting in July at Camp Lyndon for its annual Summer Camp. This year's camp will take place from July 11-July 13, so mark your calendars. More information will be coming soon, so people can plan, but it is always one of the highlights of the year, and you don't want to miss it!


Later in the year...

The calendar doesn't end in July. As we approach the middle of the summer, we'll be updating the event list with more information about Grandmaster Giacobbe’s Tournaments in August & November, and Master Peter Oien’s Tournament in November. There will also be more information about Master Rexer's Central New York Classic, scheduled for October 3-4 and Master Penny Mitchell's Karate Kid Olympics, scheduled for October 25.
