2024 New Jersey AAU State Taekwondo Championship

Dear Masters, Instructors and School Owners,

            I am pleased to invite you and your students to the 2024 New Jersey AAU State Championship. We’re excited to announce that this year we will be at a NEW VENUE at the Teaneck Armory in Teaneck, NJ! This new facility will be able to host our ten rings and have comfortable room for seating for our spectators! We will also have the following changes to our events: we will be adding Power foot, Power hand, repetitive hand, repetitive side kick, and repetitive spin hook board breaking divisions, as seen at nationals! We will also be adding a BRAND NEW event called Speed Kicking Competition for all ranks/ages! Daedo Gen 2 will be used for all intermediate, advanced, and black belts ages 10 and up.  Enclosed is our information packet, including our updated schedule of events, although may be subject to change as we get closer to the event.  You may also visit www.aautaekwondo.org for a complete listing of our current competition rules and regulations. 

​

            The New Jersey AAU State Championship serves as a qualifier for this year’s AAU Taekwondo National Championship held in Fort Lauderdale, FL.  All participants at this year’s event will qualify for AAU Taekwondo Nationals.  We’ll be running ten competition rings and offering beautiful custom medals for the top 4 athletes in each division.  Our event offers your students a chance to test their skills while gaining valuable experience. 

Historically this event brought in over 500 athletes attending in the past and we have taken every meaure to continue running a smooth-running event!  Please make sure you provide adequate certified coaches for your athletes since there will be no coach’s holds for any matches except for finals. Athletes are required to register and compete at their highest rank achieved.  Also, if an athlete is caught wearing (and registering) for a division lower than their current rank, it will be dealt with immediately and severely, so please review our rules of competition prior to the event. 

Registration is open at www.tourneyreg.net.  Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions at (201) 203-0773 or njaautkd@gmail.com. Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you and your students at our event this year! 

Yours in service,

​
