2020 Online Poomsae Grand Slam

The Grand Slam is sanctioned at the 16.0 level AND is also the first ever Major Tournament under the National Team Selection Pathways, offering not only big points in the rankings, but also the first chance to claim a spot in the 2021 National Team Tournament, with the winners taking a giant step towards being the next Poomsae USA National Team Member! 

The event will be open to all Black and Red Belt athletes in the Youth, Cadet, Junior, and Senior divisions. The first round of the tournament will be seeded based on the current rankings in the U.S. National Poomsae Rankings.
