Dear Instructors, Students:

I would like to welcome everyone to the 18th U.S Open
Jangsong Taekwondo Championship, especially students and instructors who have come a long distance to be here.
I really hope you enjoy your day.

This tournament has been especially designed for our children. It is not the
goal for you to achieve a 1st place trophy, but that will be a good achievement. Our goal is for you to build self-confidence, courage, and give you a great experience by participating in a competition with your peers in a big event.
For the adults it will be a great opportunity to test your own skills and techniques and evaluate your level among others.

Our federation’s purpose is to provide a fair and competitive atmosphere
where you are challenged. We hope you will see it as one of the best competitions in America.

I would like to wish all the competitors the best of luck and hope you will be able to achieve your personal goals today and be satisfied with your performance.

Respectfully,

Tournament Director
Master Tae Eun Ha
