Grandmaster Richard Byrne
presents the
2007 American Tang Soo Do Association Tournament
Despite some of the worst driving conditions of the winter as a storm blanketed the northeast, hundreds of people arrived in Lynnfield on March 16th & 17th for the All Tang Soo Do Tournament. Special guests included Grandmaster Robert Cheezik, Master Carl Tate and Master Peter Oien. And there was a special remembrance of Master Theo Ketelaar of the Netherlands, who had recently passed away after a valiant struggle with cancer.
On Saturday morning, there was an event that no one in the room had ever seen before. The simultaneous promotion of not one, not two, but three Masters from 5th Dan to 6th Dan. Congratulations are in order for Master Brian White, Master Glenn Simmons and Master David Rexer!
