TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR REUNION

The Official 2014 Sport Karate World Titles

SUPER GRANDS WORLD GAMES
& Amateur Internationals

Buffalo, New York, USA
December 26th - 31st, 2014


DATES

The Super Grands is Friday, December 26 ending Wednesday, December 31. It all starts with pre-registration on the 25 and 26 and finalizes with a New Year's Eve Party bash like we have had several times before. While we know this cramps the Christmas holiday we simply have very little choice when it is all thought out.

AREA ATTRACTIONS

You may want to hold off on your flight back home and plan a couple extra days for time to visit Niagara Falls 1/2 hours away, the Honeymoon capital of the world with high stakes Gambling Casinos. www.visitniagaracanada.com. www.cliftonhill.com

NOTE: If you're going to visit the Canadian side of the Falls - Clifton Hill (which has the best attractions) then don't forget that you must have a passport.

Or explore Buffalo's visitbuffaloniagara.com historical and art museums and architecture.

BROCHURE & REGISTRATION

The Super Grands brochure is online. We are accepting Mastercard, Visa and Discover credit cards for registration

STICK FIGHTING

We will again be offering both point & continuous, single & double stick fighting based on weight for both junior and adults on Friday & Saturday, December 26-27. While the stick fighting divisions will be part of the Super Grands and be titles in their own right, wins in these divisions will not be counted with the overall NBL World Titles at this time. Read all about it on page 34 of the brochure.

HOTEL

This year’s venue is the Adam's Mark Hotel. We have again negotiated the same rate of $129 per night without an increase in five years. You might want to book a tentative reservation ASAP as the hotel may sell out as in 2012. Then you can adjust your dates as need be after you book your flight arrangements. The Adam's Mark is located conveniently on I-190 in downtown Buffalo on the Lake Erie/Niagara River waterfront only 20 minutes from at the tourist and gambling excitement of Niagara Falls, New York and Canada (Remember to apply for and bring your passport if you want to visit Canada).

Like last year, the best rates for Super Grands entry fees will require you to be registered at the tournament hotel (except local attendees with certain zip codes). Entry fees will increase approximately $70 per division if you’re not staying at the Adam's Mark. All this information is in the brochure page 36 (web)

Hotel suites and larger guest rooms with refrigerators and microwaves are limited. You can call the NBL at 716-763-1111 if interested.
