Description
The U.S. Taekwondo Committee is proud to announce the 5th Annual U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang will be held at the World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA from June 21-22, 2013. After 3 successful years of holding this event in Chicago, the event has resided in Colorado Springs where in 1992, the first ever U.S. Open Taekwondo Championship was created. The 2013 U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang is expected to host over 1,300 participants from all over the world. The most famous Taekwondo practitioners from China, Taiwan, Korea, as well as European and Pan American countries will be represented, and a world famous Taekwondo Demonstration Team will perform at the Opening Ceremonies.
Taekwondo sparring is very well known as an Olympic sport. However, because of the high skill level and physical conditioning needed to be successful at sparring, the average Taekwondo School in the United States only has approximately 10% of the student body participating in sparring class and competitions. The U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang events are for the other 90% of Taekwondo students who do not participate in sparring. The U.S. Open Taekwondo Hanmadang offers the opportunity for the 90% to showcase their skills in traditional forms, creative forms, creative board breaking, power breaking, and demonstration team events.

Special Announcement
We have received numerous phone calls and emails regarding the Black Forest Fires in the Colorado Springs area. We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and concerns.
Unfortunately, this fire has resulted in the loss of almost 400 homes and displaced tens of thousands of residents, including many members of the Organizing Committee. First and foremost, our thoughts are with the families affected by this devastating fire. Second, we want to thank the state and government officials for their bravery, strength, and courage. Through their efforts they are gaining control and containment and continue to lift evacuations for the region.
THE U.S. OPEN TAEKWONDO HANAMADANG WILL TAKE PLACE AS SCHEDULED ON FRIDAY JUNE 21ST AND 22ND. THE BLACK FOREST FIRE DOES NOT POSE ANY THREAT TO THE WORLD ARENA OR CROWNE PLAZA (ELEGANTE) HOTEL. ALL PARTICIPANTS, FAMILIES, AND GUESTS WILL NOT BE IN DANGER.
Due to this disaster the Organizing Committee is EXTENDING the participant registration until SUNDAY June 16 at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time (California) to allow the thousands of residents who have been displaced from their homes the time to finalize their registrations.
