INVITATION
Dear Instructor & Friend:
I hope all is going well for you and your family. This letter is to invite you and your school to attend the 2016
Montgomery County Karate Championships. As in past years I am looking for the support of traditional karate
instructors and schools that will help me display the Martial Arts in the favorable light it deserves. This is
strictly an invitational tournament.
This year’s tournament will be held at the Spring-Ford High School 9th Grade Center. The tournament will start
promptly at 10am. If you are planning on attending please advise your students to get to the event early
enough to get registered, dressed, and warmed up. If you have Adult Black Belts attending, please contact me
and give me their names so that your school will have representation in the rings. Please ask them to dress in
their school uniform and be at the event by 9:30 am. Please familiarize your students with the rules and ring
assignments provided in the mailing. This will make it easier to get them into their proper rings and avoid
confusion.
Please contact me personally if you have any questions regarding the event. I look forward to seeing you on
May 21st.
Yours in the Martial Arts,
Master Brian Matys
