Greetings from California!

​

It is my pleasure to welcome all of you to sunny Southern California for the 2019 National Scholarship Championship being held in Long Beach California July 18-20.

​

The weekend will be full of great friendly competition as well as many new things added to this annual event.  This will be the first year that the Tang Soo Do Mi Guk Kwan will be awarding two $500 college scholarships to two deserving graduating seniors that have been nominated by their Masters, went through an application process and ultimately chosen by the Scholarship committee.

​

This year we are excited to announce that Gup Weapon divisions will be added to the lineup as well as Special Needs divisions. I am very proud of this addition.

​

The Long Beach airport Marriott is our chosen family hotel.  The training clinics on Thursday will be held on site.  Everyone is welcome to attend these clinics which are free of charge to registered competitors.  Please take advantage of the opportunity to train with some of our amazing Masters.

​

On Saturday evening we will be having a Poolside BBQ with music, swimming, food and our TSDMGK family together.  This is an event for the whole family!

​

The Hotel will shuttle you to and from the Long Beach Airport and they will also have shuttles to take you to and from the Long Beach City College where the championship is being held.

​

There are so many things to do in Southern California, I hope you will enjoy the championship, and also vacation a little.  Information will be waiting for you when you arrive to plan your sightseeing.  If I can help you in any way, just let me know.

​

I look forward to welcoming everyone from all over the United States in July. Pack your sparring gear and sunscreen and get ready to have an experience you will remember forever.

​

With much respect, Tang Soo!
