On September 24 & 25, 2011, the Original Taekwon-Do Federation of America conducted its first official event. The Technical Conference was held at The Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada and it had participants from Arizona, California, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Master Vincent Affatigato and Mr. Cody Springsguth conducted the training sessions. Master Affatigato’s sessions focused on dallyon, fundamental movements and patterns. Mr. Springsguth’s sessions focused on the new hol sin sol syllabus for the organization and sparring. In conjunction with the Technical Conference, Mr. Matthew Lusk and the Las Vegas Martial Arts Academy hosted a BBQ for all of the participants. This was a wonderful opportunity for fellowship outside of the training sessions.
