State Tournament—Why not?

We encourage all MTC/STC students to attend the Montana State Championships in Butte on June 12th.  Like Master Rosbarsky said, our goal should be to have our entire student body attending.  Of course, we understand some families may have prior commitments, but most other reasoning should be put to the test.  1)Do I want to have a positive, meaningful life experience?
If your answer here is yes, the State Championships will offer you the chance to reach for an attainable goal, and through preparation for and participation in this event individuals can develop and expand their potential as martial artists and human beings.
2) How many other quality tournament experiences are available to me within a 2 hour travel radius in the foreseeable future?
The answer here is, not many.  We will hold our tournament in October here in Missoula, then there will be a tournament in Kalispell in November.           
3) What do I stand to gain from this experience?
The list is long: physical and mental strength associated with preparing for and enduring a challenge, a positive self image associated with knowing you can accomplish great things, a sense of being part of a state wide community of great martial artists and phenomenal people, a true understanding of the MTC/STC “family” who are here to love and support you through challenges and help you celebrate your individual and our collective accomplishments.                             
4) Why support the Montana Taekwondo Association?  The MTA is a non-profit that works hard to promote TKD in our region with all income going directly back to our TKD community.  (And Master R is the incoming president.)

Now you should have a whole new set of questions.  How much is it? $45 for MTA members, $55 for non members. How do I get signed up? At montanataekwondo.org or grab a registration form at the dojang. How do I prepare? Start by talking to Master and Mrs. Rosbarsky—we’ll help you be fully prepared.
