Dear Grand Masters, Masters, Instructors and Students:
I am happy to have the opportunity to invite you once again to the 24th ITF NY Taekwon-Do Tournament! This year’s tournament will be held on Sunday, September 29, 2019 at the Fitzgerald Gymnasium of Queens College, located at 65-30 Kissena Blvd. Flushing, NY 11367.
For 24 years the ITF NY Tournament has grown to be one of the largest ITF tournaments in the United States, often bringing in more than 300 competitors! The Fitzgerald Gymnasium at Queens College has proven an ideal location since 2008, with 22,800 sq. ft. of floor space, accommodating 9’ x 9’ rings, and more than 1,600 people.
Every year we look for new ways to improve the functional and competitive aspects of our event, and we are happy to announce that we have a brand new, dedicated website for the tournament this year! You can access all tournament and registration information, as well as photos and videos from many of the tournaments from the past 24 years…and much more.
Go to www.ITFNYTKDTournament.com and check it out!
Finally, we have once again implemented on-line registration and payment for your convenience. The link can be found at either the tournament website or www.NTA-ITF.com. Please submit all applications and registration fees on-line by September 22, 2019.
Your participation in our event continues to support the world-wide effort to keep alive the legacy of General Choi Hong-Hi. We truly hope this year will be another to remember.
Yours in Taekwon-Do,
Master Ruben D. Suarez Director, Queens Taekwon-Do Center
