Dear friends:

You and your students are cordially invited to attend and participate in the first New York Invitational Martial Arts Tournament, sanctioned by the United States Sport jujitsu Association (USSJA). This event will be hosted by the North East Martial Arts Academy and will feature competition in Open-Hand Kata, Self Defense and the original Sport Jujitsu Free-Style Fighting format.  Team USA coaches will be scouting this event for potential 2006 United States Sport Jujitsu Team members.  You won't want to miss this opportunity to compete in one of the most exciting tournament formats ever, plus a chance to become a member of Team USA that will be competing in Argentina later this year!

Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you there!
