This all-day event is open to all students and instructors, current and past, of organizations practicing the traditional style of taekwondo introduced to the United States by Grand Master Sun Duk Son. We get together every year in a different West Coast location, this time in Mountain View, California.
The organizers of this year's reunion are the San Francisco POD (Presidio Outdoor Dojang) and the Mountain View School of Taekwondo.
There are no charges for participation in any of the activities, including lunch and party. We can provide beds in San Francisco or the Mountain View area for those wanting to stay over Saturday night. We request that school instructors (and individuals not belonging to a school) let us know by April 15 how many people will be attending. Please use the form at the bottom of this page. For the testee and competitor sections, enter information for one person per line, using commas to separate the fields.
The event will be held in the Auxiliary Room of the Whisman Sports Center in Mountain View. See our schedule page for directions.
The party will be at Rob's place in Los Altos.
This year we will have sparring and forms competition for kids - defined as up to and including 16 years of age. Sparring will be no-contact as per WTA and CDKA tradition. No pads are required but mouth/teeth protectors are strongly encouraged. Forms can be any of the 21 in Master Hillson's Tae Kwon Do Classic Forms book. In parallel with the tournament there will be rotating sparring for the rest of the participants; hopefully you will get to spar everyone else at the event.
Testing will be conducted by instructors from the various schools. We have three San Diego-style board holders. Let us know if you need boards for testing (on the form below). Please arrange for belts yourselves.
A light sandwich lunch (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) will be available in the gym at noon. There will be food and refreshments at the party afterwards.
