The tournament offers divisions for everyone—from 4-year-old beginners to 65-year-old veterans. Participants will compete in three modalities: combat, forms (poomsae), and semi-contact sparring. With matches organized by belt rank, spectators can expect fair, competitive, and exciting bouts across all levels—from white belts to 5th DAN black belts.
Led by International Masters and Local Heroes
Sahyun Nim Analia Migueles, a 7th DAN international black belt and General Secretary of Chul Hak San, will preside over the event. Key organizer Kevin Jacobo (5th DAN), along with instructors from Concordia and Salto, has coordinated efforts to ensure everything runs smoothly. Their leadership brings professionalism and heart to the competition.
Taekwondo Values Shine Beyond the Mat
While medals and trophies matter, this event goes deeper. Respect, discipline, and community stand at the core of Taekwondo. “It’s about sharing, learning, and building community through martial arts,” said Jacobo. Attendees will witness not just physical skill—but the indomitable spirit of Taekwondo in every match.
