FACTS COMMON TO ALL COUNTS

the advertising, promotion and operation of a martial arts tournaments in interstate
commerce, and the sale of merchandise, competition and spectator tickets in interstate
commerce, and in particular, in connection with martial arts competitions.
10. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 3,015,207 for
the mark ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS for use in
connection with organizing and conducting martial arts competitions in International Class
-
41. Registration No. 3,015,207 is valid and subsisting and has become incontestable
pursuant to Sections 8 and 15 of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. 1058,1065. Acopy of U.S.
Registration No. 3,015,207 for the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG
FU CHAMPIONSHIPS and a current status report are attached hereto as Exhibit 2.
11. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU
CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament has been advertised and promoted nationwide and within this
judicial district in the martial arts community for 49 years. The 50th anniversary
presentation of this tournament is scheduled for March 7, 2015 and is being advertised on
line at Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's website which is accessible through the URL
www.henrycho.com under the "Tournament" tab. Pages printed from the website about
the Tournament are attached hereto at Exhibit 3. Copies of literature including Invitation
Letters, competition registration forms and additional information that were also mailed to
martial arts instructors and schools are attached hereto at Exhibit 4.
12. Grandmaster S. Henry Cho had the foresight to create, design, and promote the ALL
AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament as an
"open" tournament with competition rules designed so that one style of martial arts would
NOT have an advantage over any other style during the competition.
13. The ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNGFU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament
was held in Madison Square Garden's Felt Forum for 25 years and is a rock bed of American
Martial Arts history, where Bruce Lee met Chuck Norris for the first time. Many well-known
martial artists have competed in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO FUNG FU
CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament including, but not limited to, Thomas LaPuppet, Chuck Norris,
Michael Warren, William Oliver,Gerald Robbins, Tony Blanchard, and RubyCamacho.
-
14. Since its inception, tens of thousands of martial arts competitors and students have
participated in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIP
tournament.
15. As a result of its 50 year history and the efforts of Grandmaster S. Henry Cho to promote
and advertise the Tournament, the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO
KUNGU CHAMPIONSHIPS has developed significant secondary meaning and goodwill such
that members of the Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Kung-Fu communities have come to
associate the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU
CHAMPIONSHIPS with Grandmaster S. Henry Cho exclusively. The Estate has continued to
run, promote, advertise and oversee the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO
KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament according to the teachings, rules and ethics
established by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho in order to maintain and increase the goodwill and
secondary meaning associated with the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON
DO KUNGFU CHAMPIONSHIPS.
16. David Moradi is a former student of Grandmaster Cho who, upon information and belief,
joined Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's Tae Kwon Do school as a 2nd degree black belt from
another instructor, and started training with Grandmaster Cho in the late 1990's.
17. On November 4, 2005, Grandmaster Cho and Defendants entered into a trademark license
pertaining to the Defendants' use of the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG
FU CHAMPIONSHIPS. Acopy of the November 4, 2005 trademark license (the "Trademark
License") is attached as Exhibit 5. Financial information has been redacted from the
Trademark License as it is not relevant at this time and confidential.
-
18. Defendants breached the terms of the Trademark License, which was terminated on
February 10, 2014. A copy of the February 10, 2014 termination letter is attached as Exhibit
6.
19. The February 10, 2014 termination letter requested a detailed accounting of the income
and expenses for the years 2009-2013. Defendants failed to respond to the February 10,
2014 letter and to date have failed to provide the financial information requested therein.
20. After termination of the Trademark Licenseon February 10, 2014, the Estate appointed a
new licensee and continued the tradition of the ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON
DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONS tournament by hosting the 49th annual event on March 15, 2014
at Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus.
21. Upon information and belief, in late February and early March of 2014, Defendants made
false statements to the martial arts community falsely alleging that the March 15, 2014
event was cancelled when, in fact, the 49th annual tournament was held as scheduled.
22. Upon information and belief, on or about March 5, 2014, Defendants organized and
participated in a boycott of the March 15, 2014 event as evidenced by Michael Miller, an
associate of Defendants posting the following on Facebook: "many of us are boycotting the
event Saturday March 15th and won't return if it continues afterwards " Acopy of the
Facebook posting is attached as Exhibit 7. These actions harmed the Estate and the goodwill
associated with the mark ALLAMERICAN OPEN KARATETAE KWON DO KUNG FU
CHAMPIONSHIPS.
23. The 50th Anniversary ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNGFU
CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament is scheduled for March 7, 2015 at Long Island University's
Brooklyn Campus.
-
24. Upon information and belief, Defendants deliberately scheduled a competing martial arts
tournament on February 28, 2015 exactly one week before the 50th anniversary ALL
AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS tournament. Upon
information and belief, Defendants' competing martial arts tournament is being called the
AMERICAN OPEN MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONSHIP the tournament ("Infringing
Tournament"). Attached hereto at Exhibit8 is a page from Defendants' website at
www.westchestertkd.com website showing Defendants' sponsorship and advertisement of
the "Infringing Tournament".
25. Upon information and belief, the selection of the name AMERICAN OPEN MARTIAL ARTS
CHAMPIONSHIP for the InfringingTournament was made intentionally and with full
knowledge of Grandmaster Cho's rights in the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE
KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS.
26. Upon information and belief, Defendants intentionally and with intent to trade on the good
will and fame of the trademark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU
CHAMPIONSHIPS, have used social media to create the false impression that the Infringing
Tournament is the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS
tournament, or is approved or sponsored by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho.
27. Upon information and belief, Helen Crowell, another associate of Defendants, made and
continues to make the following false claims on Facebook. "[C]ome join me at the OPEN
MARTIAL ARTS Tournament on Sat. Feb. 28, 2015 Gaucho Gym, 478 Gerard Ave, Bronx NY
10451. Master David Moradi is doing what our great Grandmaster S. Henry Cho would want

-
Moradi for all the details. I hope to see you all there!!!! OUS!!!!" Atrue and correct print
out of this Facebook posting is attached as Exhibit 9.

continues to make the following false claims on Facebook stating "... am looking forward to
being there to support Master Moradi as he continues in the footsteps of GM Cho. Iwill
look forward to seeing you and Master Lemon on February 28th. See Exhibit 9.

Grandmaster S. Henry Cho's trademark rights in the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE

30. At no time did Grandmaster S. Henry Cho or the Estate authorize or consent to Defendant's
use of the mark ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS in
connection with the Infringing Tournament.
31. Upon information and belief, Defendants' continued unauthorized use in interstate
commerce of the mark AMERICAN OPEN MARTIALARTS CHAMPIONSHIPS for a martial arts
tournament has caused and is likelyto continue to cause the purchasing public and others
to mistakenly believe that Defendants' February 28, 2015 martial arts tournament is
associated with, sponsored or approved by Grandmaster S. Henry Cho or the Estate when
they are not.
32. The unauthorized acts of Defendants alleged herein have resulted in damage and
irreparable harm to Grandmaster S. Henry Cho and the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE

Re: November 4,2005 License Agreement
Dear David:
We are hereby providing you with notice ofyour breach ofthe November 4,2005 licenseagreement between Westchester Tae Kwon Do Academy, inc., and SHC Associates, Inc. (hereinafterreferred toas the"AAO Agreement") and, on behalf ofthe Estate ofSihak Henry Cho, we terminate alllicenses and rights granted in the AAO Agreement.
As we previously mentioned in our January 15, 2014 letter to you, we are in receipt ofa check ithe amount of$ 495.00 made out to Myung Sook Cho purportedly for10 percent ofthe net proceedsfrom the March 16,2013 All American Open Karate tae Kwon Do Kung-Fu Tournament (hereinafter"2013 All American Open"). We arealso in receipt ofthe copies ofthe Entry Blanks from the 2013 AllAmerican Open which you hand-delivered to Kenneth Cho onJanuary 17,2014inPuerto Rico. We notethat all these actions evidenceyour continuedacknowledgement and acceptance of yourongoingobligations under the AAO Agreement.
We understand from your All American Open Settlement Letter (postmarked November27,2013) that you claim that the net profit from the 2013 All American Open was$ 4,950.25. This net profitamount issignificantly lowerthan previous yearsand is lessthan 50 percent of the net profits whenthetournament was run at Manhattan or Queens College. The numbers that you provided don't makesense basedon the 48 year history of this tournament. Weare not able to reconcile the fact that whileyou have a lower expense profile running the tournament at LIU's Brooklyn Campus (no rental fee to usethe gym), more net profit was made when the tournament was held at Manhattan College (Draddy Gymwith a gym rental fee of around$ 5,000) witha higher expenseprofile. We are unable to ascertainwhether this decrease in net profits isa result of underreportingor mismanagementof the All AmericanOpen. We formally request an accounting of all the income and expenses (in more detail thanpreviously provided inyour AAO Settlement letter) for the last five years, 2009- 2013,of the AllAmerican Open tournaments.
Yourfailure to hold the tournament at a more high-profile venue (like Manhattan or QueensCollege), the continued erosion of profitsand your mismanagement of the All American Open are

Furthermore, your breach of the June 22,2004 agreement between Westchester Tae Kwon DoAcademy, Inc. and SHC Associates, Inc. (the "GradePromotion Agreement"), as outlined inour letter ofJanuary 30, 2014, hasalsodamaged the reputation ofour latefather. Grandmaster S.

More specifically, with respect to at least theOctober13,2012 and October27,2013 Grade Promotion Tests,you misled GrandmasterGiordano andMasters Schiff, Kimmel and Arteri intoconvening S.Henry Cho Tae Kwon Do Grade Promotion/testcommittees, misused the resources of S.Henry TaeKwon Do and failed to submitthe appropriatedocumentation andfees. Such actions are damaging our father's reputation and the goodwill that isassociated with the ALL AMERICAN OPEN KARATE TAE KWON DO KUNG FU CHAMPIONSHIPS trademarkand tournament in a very public way in frontofyour students andthe studentsof Grandmaster S. HenryCho. These actions are notconsistent with being a martial artistandstudentofGrandmaster S. HenryCho.
You havefailed to comply with paragraph 5 of the AAO Agreement, which requiresyoutouphold the goodwill and intangibles associated with the All American Open and the reputation of S.Henry Cho, and "... upholdthese values,traditions and good sportsmanship." Part of the values ofGrandmasterCho and hisreputation isthat a student remainsa student ingood standingwithGrandmaster Cho andSHC Associates. This important ethical tenet iseven reinforced inyourblack beltagreement which you executed in 2009, and which all black belts inS. Henry Cho Tae Kwon Do honor.However, onJanuary 17and 18,2014, you admitted and acknowledged your breach ofparagraphs 10-13 and 16oftheGrade Promotion Agreement by intentionally testing, promoting and issuing your owndiplomas toyour students without theknowledge orconsent ofSHC Associates, Inc., S. Henry Cho'sestate orheirs. You have openly and expressly declared in front ofmasters and students ofS. Henry ChoTae Kwon Do thatyou have not been and will not remain astudent in good standing with S. Henry ChoTae Kwon Do.
