Without a doubt the premier and most exciting martial arts event of the year! Featuring Tang Soo Do competition, education, and camaraderie, this years event is being held at the brand new, state of the art Beckerman Center on the University of New Haven Campus.
The venue is less than 1/2 a mile from the T.S.D.M.G.K. world headquarters and just a stones throw from the "Gateway to New England" that is New Haven, home of Yale University. In the area are 7 other universities, aesthetic shorelines, diverse ethnic cuisine, active nightlife in the city's downtown area and of course Wooster Street which is world famous for it's pizza. See the side bar for just a few of the area's attractions.
