Tournament Results

The school participated in the 2010 US Masters Open Taekwondo Championships on Sunday, Nov 7th. The school did quite well in Sparring and Forms. A quick tally of the days results produced: 4 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals and 6 Bronze Medals.  The students did an outstanding job and made the school very proud. With number of wins and the superior performance of the students, it has made the Otieno school noticed by many other instructors across the greater Northeast region. We made a big spash in our first major event. Now we have to work even harder! Congratulations to all competitors!
