About the West Coast Open

July 1, 2009Chuck Sweigart, West Coast Open Tournament Director

Dear Martial Arts Enthusiast,

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2009 West Coast Open Martial Arts Championships on Saturday, October 3, 2009 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma, Washington.

This year’s event promises to be even more exciting than last year’s successful Championships, and will proudly feature teams and Senseis from Canada, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, and Idaho. The quality of the competition and officiating promises, once again, to be of the highest caliber.

We are proud to have the assistance and sponsorship of The Tacoma Sports Commission and appreciate their hard work in making this a successful event. The West Coast Open is sanctioned by the USA National Karate-Do Federation, the governing body for the sport of Karate in the United States under the auspices of the USOC. The Washington State Karate-do Federation, the regional sports organization for the USANKF, will also be supporting this competition.

It is a pleasure and honor to work with Sensei Matt Day, who will coordinate the competition. Sensei Day’s integrity and experience will insure a safe, fair, and exciting competition for all involved.

The West Coast Open is the Washington State qualifier for the Disney Martial Arts Festival to be held at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, October 16-18, 2009.

All competitors, officials, and volunteers are welcome to participate in this goodwill event, so mark your calendars for Saturday, October 3, 2009, and join us at the 2009 West Coast Open International Martial Arts Championships!

Sincerely,

Chuck Sweigart
