I guess I am alittle confused the AAU team is not doing any tournaments before leaving for The AAU National Adult and Junior Team will be going to the Dutch Open March 18 - 23, 2009. I was just with them two weeks ago when they was in Arlington training together for the upcoming event. I wish I was able to come and watch looks like a great event. By the way who is the person running this event, maybe I know them since I am in Texas as well.

I would have really loved to visit the Southwest Conference TaeKwonDo Fight-offs but unfortunately something else cropped up. Luckily I managed to visit the National Collegiate Championships hosted by the Brown University in Providence (RI) (http://students.bryant.edu/%7Eifranzen/rhode-island.html). It was an amazing and exciting tournament. I always enjoy watching such tournaments. I am already looking forward to the next one.
