Dear Masters/Instructors,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all good health and safety during this time. I hope that 2022 has been a a prosperous year and I wish nothing but the best for you as you finish out the year. It is with great honor and excitement that I extend to you an invitation to participate in the upcoming New York Open Taekwondo Championships/Korean Cultural Festival to be held at The Peter Jay Sharp Athletic Center at the College of Mount Saint Vincent (6301 Riverdale Ave., Riverdale, NY 10471) on Saturday, Oct. 29th, 2022. 

Our goal for the 2022 New York Open TaeKwonDo Championships is to uphold a level of expertise as an Olympic sport and promote the beautiful Korean Culture that we all share. As the only Festival without any political, commercial, or profit based agenda (as it is a non-profit event), we pride ourselves on using TaeKwonDo as a tool to bring together and embrace the different cultures of the world, regardless of race and creed - hence our philosophy: “TaeKwonDo, One Family One Vision.” 

We are honored to serve you and hope to ensure that each individual has his or her best tournament experience of the year. Moreover, It is always a privilege to have competitors from all over compete in the highest traditions of our sport and art. Again, your participation and support is invaluable to the success, growth, and recognition of TaeKwonDo. I commend you for your desire to compete and excel! Thank you for your support. 

Sincerely,

Grandmaster Y.H. Park
