Since 2007, MSMAP members competed in both forms and sparring at the UC Open Taekwondo Championships winning a growing total of six gold medals. This year, the taekwondo and yongmudo championships are on consecutive days allowing participants to compete in even more activities on the same weekend. UCMAP events are well-run tournaments that allow for lots of fun and enjoyment for both participants and their families.
