If the "popular" Olympic sports are featured on TV because of the human interest and heart-tugging stories (as we've been told in the past), I fail to see how anyone could NOT consider featuring TKD. BTW, I was told that spectators painted their faces and bodies and used noisemakers to support their favorites at Team Trials. The comment I heard was, "it was like a football or baseball game." Opinions from anyone who was there? Good? Bad? Fun? Distracting? Anything?

Ray - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Martial Arts Friend, We want to remind you and cordially invite you to the USA Karate/US JuJitsu/ US Kobudo Nationals Championships and combined Halls of Fame and National Tournament on July 14-15-16. This is the USAKF¹s 26th annual event and we hope you can attend. We will be in Canton, Ohio, just South of Akron-Cleveland, and are within driving distance of most East Coast, Southeast, and Midwest cities. The competition has always been spectacular and this year we will include the US Ju-Jitsu Federation. The facilities are great, the competition will be fun and we are sure that you will agree that this is the best ever. We are going strong. As you know, we changed our mission from representing the complicated bureaucracy of the Olympic Committee to that of developing karate in the USA. That always was and still is our real pleasure. Best Regards, Dr. Michael Dunphy, Tournament Director *************** These are the www sites.
