My friends,

As I write this, we are just over 3 months away from the Mu Sa Kwan Open Martial Arts Tournament, scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 24th, at the Novi Middle School. This will be our 37th year of hosting our tournament, and I have to say that thanks to all of you, the quality of the competition just gets better every year. I am sure everyone is training diligently, and I look forward to seeing all of you there.

For those of you who may not be aware of this, we do offer the option to register in advance (and thank you to those of you who have already done so) and get a discount off the price at the door on the day of the tournament. Not only have you saved yourself some money, but it helps us in planning what we will need to have on hand for the tournament. But whether you register ahead of time, or at the door, we want you there! Please check the attachments for further tournament details and for information about competition divisions.

At this time we are not yet set up to accommodate online registration. In order to register in advance, please send check or money order, made out to Boliard’s Martial Arts, and mail to:

Boliard’s Martial Arts
43663 Michigan Ave
Canton, MI 48188

Please contact me at gregmusa@yahoo.com or 734-397-7010 if you have any further questions. For tournament divisions please click here.

Thank you for your continued support -
Grand Master Greg Boliard
