30th Fall Classic 

& 

2024 WTSDA Region 9

CLINIC for Black Belts, Color Belts & Parents

& Rank Presentation

The 30^th Fall Classic Tang Soo Do Championships will be held on 

Saturday, October 12, 2024 

at the Meriden Boy’s & Girls Club, in Meriden, CT. This is an Invitational All Tang Soo Do Event. This year we are also offering an opportunity to train in clinics afterwards. The clinics will be conducted by Masters & Instructors of the WTSDA  (World Tang Soo Do Association).

This is not a WTSDA sanctioned event therefore it will follow open tournament rules. Sparring matches will be 2 minutes long with the most points winning. In the event of a tie, there will be a 1 min overtime match. If there is still a tie, there will be a final sudden victory match to determine the winner.

I am excited about this year’s event.  We are expecting a strong turnout of Tang Soo Do Masters, Dans and Gups.  I look forward to meeting and sharing with Instructors and Students from all over the Eastern Seaboard.
