Dear Sensei,

 

I would like to invite you and your students to the 1st Annual Northeast Isshin Ryu O.I.K.K.A Friendship Tournament in Portsmouth, NH.  This tournament will be held Saturday, May 31, 2008 at Portsmouth High School (directions attached) starting at 10:00 a.m..  Registration will start at 8:00 a.m., Black Belt meeting will be at 9:30 a.m. and the Weapons Division will start at 10:00 a.m.  Please be on time. 

 

We are very excited to have special guest Master Chris Chase, the President of O.I.K.K.A. attend the tournament.  Thank you in advance to Sensei Chase along with Sensei’s Devine and Rigby for allowing us to take part in this great opportunity and to work together in honor of Grandmaster Angi Uezu.  We appreciate their support and encouragement.  One-half of the profits from this tournament will be sent to Grandmaster Uezu.

 

Enclosed you will find relevant information and registration forms for your students.  Please make extra copies as needed.  Pre-registration is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.  We are accepting pre-registrations through the mail or through fax transmittals.  Competitors will compete in the reverse order that they register in the kata and weapons divisions; that is, the first competitor to register will have the advantage of being the last to compete.

 

This being our first year hosting an Isshin Ryu O.I.K.K.A. Friendship Tournament, we are very excited to make new friends as well as see old friends we have not seen in a long time.  In addition to entering our tournament, we hope you will find the time to enjoy some of New Hampshire’s attractions such as whale watching, Isle of Shoals excursions, Seacoast Science Center, Portsmouth Children’s Museum, beaches, and outlet shopping just over the border in Kittery, Maine.  Enclosed with each registration form is a Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce booklet that provides you with more information on the area.

 

If you plan to attend personally, I invite your participation as a tournament judge.  If you have any questions or would like to be a judge, please call me at (603) 433-3179.

 

Thank you,

 

Harry Charache

Tournament Director
