Lauderdale, Fla., July 2-7. This will be the first time the event has been held in the United States. Athletes from all over the world will compete at the highest level of the sport in Kata (forms), Kumite (sparring) and Kobudo (weapons). Their outstanding performance at team trials held in Las Vegas on Easter weekend secured them a spot on the USA Team.
