It is time again for the Austin Tournament! We had so much fun last year and plan to have an outstanding tournament this year on the weekend of July 23! The Region has chosen to add to this event by graciously hosting a Judging Workshop on the day fore the tournament.  Please come join the fun in the last chance to practice before our grand Region IV Tournament. Here are some details on the events:

FRIDAY JULY 22 - Master Sharpe would like to announce the Summer Judging and Referee Certification Seminar! This is a great opportunity for those who do not have certification to learn more about it and CERTIFY and also for those who have certification to refresh your skills, learn about the changes to our rules and regulations and UPGRADE your certification! The seminar will be conducted on Friday evening and some participants will be able to practice those skills the next day at the tournament in Austin (Lone Star Showdown). Master Sharpe encourages every black belt and cho dan bo (check with your instructor!) to attend the seminar, learn more about being a competent judge and referee and gain points towards regional attendance! Come and support this seminar and support the Austin Lone Star Showdown! It's going to be a blast!
