Almost 500 excited and motivated competitors found their way to the Lewisville Convention Center to compete for gold, silver and bronze medals.

Tournament competition is about more than just winning trophies. It is an essential element of martial arts training.

Students from all across the United States came to show their best effort in order to win medals. It truly had a feeling of small Olympic games.

Tournament are a great way for students to participate in an event that test theirs physical and mental skills. Our students had a chance to compete in forms, self-defense, sparring, weapons and board breaking competitions.

Many of our students who are on the Leadership team walked away with 4 medals!

Miss Talia Flores recently earned her 1st Degree Senior Black Belt. Miss Flores started training with us, here in Southlake, on February 19, 2010. Currently enrolled in our Teen martial arts program, she is on her way to become a certified Level 1 Instructor by the end of summer.

Why is tournament participation important for your child.
