It was a great weekend for the USGTSDA as students and instructors participated in the American Tang Soo Do Association’s annual tournament in Andover, Massachusetts. The event was hosted by Grandmaster Penny Mitchell who along with her fantastic team of senior masters, ran a fantastic event. There were divisions for breaking, extreme breaking, all weapons, chil sung forms, traditional forms, and sparring. Many students, and their instructors brought home medals reflecting their hard work and dedication. The USGTSDA, however, supports this event because it represents true Tang Soo Do atmosphere. We deeply appreciate the opportunity for our students to get out of their studios and test not only their skill, but their character in an environment where both are expected. Next up: New England Championships on May 2nd in Old Saybrook, CT- save the date!
