The 2010 Kang Rhee St. Jude Benefit Karate Championship was held at Rhodes College on May 1st, 2010. Once again, it was a huge success!

I would like to take this opportunity to extend my personal thanks to the spectators and to all of the members of the PaSaRyu Martial Artist Association who attended and participated in the annual St. Jude Benefit Karate Championship.

As always, the focus was on learning and growing as martial artists through fair and safe competition. The sharing of knowledge and the free exchange of ideas and techniques are what make PaSaRyu truly a unique and progressive style of martial art. I would also like to recognize Rhodes College for having allowed us to use their gymnasium.

In all, we raised over $6500 for St. Jude Hospital and we are very proud of that accomplishment.

We look forward to next year's tournament and our continued fundraising and support of St. Jude Hospital.

Yours in the martial arts,

Kang Rhee
