Letter of invitation:
Dear Masters, Instructors, Competitors and Parents,
I would like to personally invite you to the Atlantic City Grand Internationals “Battle at the Board Walk”. The event will not only be an exciting experience and wonderful opportunity for all martial artists, but for Taekwondo, it holds a “special flavor”, as it allows athletes an opportunity to demonstrate our Olympic sport.
The tournament will feature over 500 sparring divisions, 460 forms divisions, matted rings, electronic scoring, (2) rounds of sparring per match and competitors will have a marvelous opportunity to compete against top athletes within their field.
The “Battle at the Board Walk” has a great deal to offer - seminars, workshops, distinguished guests, top-quality competitors and activities tailored for the entire family. It is sure to be one of the top events to attend in 2006! I look forward to seeing you there!
Good luck to all competitors!!
May the battle begin…
Bill Ferkile
