35TH ANNUAL AMERICAN CUP TOURNAMENT A GREAT SUCCESS!
The 35th Annual American Cup Knockdown Tournament held on Saturday, April 30th was a great success. I appreciate all of the Black Belts and other students working together to make everything run smoothly. We had Sensei Masa and Sensei Naoi come from Japan with a couple other fighters. Also present with their fighters were some of our domestic Branch Chiefs: Sensei Saito from San Francisco, Sensei Motoi from San Jose, Sensei Takahashi from Atlanta, Sensei Joan from Florida and Sensei Michael from North Carolina. Judge Pete Johnson was also there, and did a great job announcing.
After Japan was hit with a massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11th, we decided to use the tournament as a vehicle to raise money for relief efforts by having all participants get sponsors. Our original goal was to raise $5,000 that we could donate to the Red Cross. In the end, however, we were able to raise close to $10,000. Because of the devastating tornado that hit Alabama on April 27th, we have decided to donate half of the money to Japan and the other half to tornado victims.
We really appreciate everyone’s cooperation and support to allow us to have such a successful tournament.
OSU!
