Tang Soo! I hope this find you in good health and spirits. I would like to take this opportunity to re-introduce to you Bay Ridge Annual Invitational Tournament under its new title, NYC Big Apple Open. This tournament will once again be held under the direction of Professor Frank Barroso of the Bay Ridge Dojo and will be the 5th tournament hosted by the Rockland Martial Arts Alliance. This Tournament will include all events previously held by the Bay Ridge Annual Invitational, Forms, Fighting, Self-Defense, Weapons and Breaking-including Concrete Breaking. The NYC Big Apple Open V, will be held at Poly Prep located at 9216 7th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228. Competitor dues are all inclusive. Pay one price and you can compete in as many events as you like. In addition, we are offering discounts to schools that come with 10 or more students and groups of 15 or more will receive an ever steeper discount. As an additional offer, special discounts will be available to schools that have attended all four previous championships in the past. This event will also sponsor a keepsake for all competitors free of charge.
As usual, we have a commemorative t-shirt for all participating judges that qualify. I am pleased to announce that along with the t-shirts, other apparel will be available through Fine Design Inc., our new t-shirt and apparel provider. Fine Design will be offering various products that you can customize by adding your name, school name or special message written on the back. This gives you the opportunity to have your very own, one of a kind shirt that represents you. Photography will be available through Umoja Photography. Umoja gives you the opportunity to have photos taken of you/your child. Prints will be made while you wait. They will also be offering a commemorative DVD of all of the photos taken tournament day. Pre-registration is strongly recommended as our tournaments serve over 30 schools and 350 competitors.
Our pre-registration only requires that your school submit your applications in advance. YOU CAN STILL PAY AT THE DOOR. Please call any of the directors for further information regarding registering in advance.
If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to call or email. I look forward to seeing you there.
Yours for the cause of
Peace, Love, Brotherhood
And The Way,
