2nd Annual
North East Open Tournament & Showcase

Riding on the Success of 2007, 2008 looks to be even bigger & better!

The first annual North East Open, which took place on July 7th of 2007 was an even larger success then is supporters could have even hoped for. The inaugural event brought in almost two hundred competitors from all around the region. Along with those competitors came over three hundred family members, spectators and martial arts enthusiasts. Competitors and spectators traveled from throughout the region including all parts of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and as far away as Maine, Ohio and areas farther west.

Dozens of the regions highest ranking, most prestigious and most experienced martial arts masters and school owners all came together to help make this event such a huge success. With a lot of skepticism going into the first event, the masters had these comments after it was over:

“It has been quite a long time, no, a very, very long time since I have been to a tournament where I did not have to apologize to the parents of my competitors for any of the following: how the tournament was organized, how the tournament was judged, the facility, disrespectful competitors, rude parents, uneducated support staff and punctuality. This surely is a tribute to the dedication and loyalty demonstrated by your organization, and a testament to your sincerity to your art.”

“I just want to congratulate you and your staff on a successful tournament and to say thank you for offering my students and myself a fair, fresh, & exciting opportunity to perform. Your event was one of the most organized and well run tournaments that I have ever been to (and I've been to a lot). I came away with many positive memories that will stick with me until next year's event. From the top notch judging to the impressive talent on the competition floor... the spectacular demonstrations... meeting new people & networking with old friends... the vendors... the breaking - I enjoyed it all! It was an honor and a privilege to participate in the 2007 Northeast Thanks again for a wonderful event…”

“I thought your event was the best planned I have ever seen. I attend about 30 tournaments and kick boxing events a year and I would guestimate that most of the promoters spend very few hours preparing and it shows. I admire your efforts in not accepting the status quo and making solid attempts to make your event a unique and prestigious event.”

Our event's goal is to open up competitors’ eyes to the beauty and strength of all different styles of martial arts,
rather than offering a competition with the attitude of “finding out who is best”.
