Region 20
Our region includes over ten schools ranging from Pasadena, California in the North to San Luis, Arizona in the South.
History of Region 20
Region 20 was established in 2001. Before, Region 20 was a part of Region 1 which included all of California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, and Guam. Now, Region 20 consists of Southern California and South Western Arizona. In 2002 the first Region 20 Championship was formed. Region 20 is the proud home to both the first ever Male World Champion, Chil Dan Master Kenneth D. Purnell, and the first ever Female World Champion, Oh Dan Master Clare Marsch. Since its establishment, Region 20 has grown to over 10 schools with 14 masters and many more instructors.

COVID-19 Update!
Region 20 supports all its families in protecting themselves from the spread of illness. Please follow appropriate procedures to help keep yourself, your students and parents safe. We recommend hand washing prior to the start of class and the use of disinfecting wipes on all surfaces such as light switches and door handles. Encourage students to touch elbows rather than shaking hands and encourage hand washing immediately after class. Practice of techniques involving contact, such as self defense or one steps should be avoided at this time and practiced without a partner. Encourage students and parents of children to clean sparring gear with disinfectant wipes.
If you are in doubt about your own health symptoms, please be prudent and self quarantine until you are sure.
