34th Anniversary Tournament
Thursday, 16th September 2010
The 34th Anniversary Tournament will be held on Saturday, October 23rd at Hunter College located at 68th Street and Lexington Avenue. This year, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Cancer Research in memory of Kyoshi Barry Williams.
All students are, of course, encouraged to participate and compete in all events open to their corresponding belt level. If not competing, we hope you show your support regardless by being in attendance and cheering everyone on from the sidelines.
Taking part in competition is part of your training, but at the heart of it all is the camaraderie and the connection we strive to solidify with one another – especially at Tournament – that leaves everyone feeling energized and inspired at the end of the day. It’s why we are Seido. So, be a part of it! It’s also a lot of fun. Download applications, flyers, or the rules & regulations here.
