All black belts will be asked to help with refereeing and judging. This will allow us to move through the day quickly. Early registration cost is $65. This allows competitors to compete in all areas. At the door registration will be $85. All world class Black Belts that want to compete in Daedo sparring will not be allowed to register at the door. Spectators will be $5 for adults and $3 for children (6 & up).
