Consistency builds discipline; and these students practice that every week. Our largest 9-man bracket of the day!

We hosted our 3rd In-House tournament today and we call it, "The Village Games" 🛖

The goal was to experience. Experience winning, losing, pressure, lifting up a teammate, sharpening a teammate, sportsmanship, failing and finding a way to appreciate it all.

Thank you to all our black belts and high rank who helped pass on the baton of competition. Thank you to all our families who brought tables, chairs, helped set up/tear down. Thank you to all the parents who lifted up someone else's child. We are the Village.
