This event will feature 90 forms, sparring, and weapons divisions, with large custom medals in all divisions for 1st to 3rd place. Participation medals will be given to all competitors who give it their all but fall short of placing. You and your school can look forward to good competition in a friendly environment honoring the spirit of fairness, order, and safety.
Please note that the Alaska Open will be held this year at the UAA Seawolf Sports Complex on the UAA Campus in Anchorage, Alaska. The tournament will begin promptly at 9:30 am, with competitor check-in at 8:30 am. Enclosed are tournament registration forms. Please feel free to make additional copies as necessary. All registration is due no later than May 1st! This will help us to streamline division bracketing and in the overall operation of the tournament. Online registration and general admission tickets are available on our website: akopenmartialarts.com. This year, we are excited to announce that tournament apparel will be handled by the ASAA's official apparel provider, Northwest Designs Ink Inc.! They will have a wide array of product options, from short and long-sleeved t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweat pants, and in a variety of colors as well. All products will be available on-site.
