SOME PICTURES OF US TRAVELLING TO MASA NATIONALS.
It was an incredible journey going all the way from the WEST COAST to Pretoria for the MASA Nationals.
As coach to get to know your students on a different level, trusting each other and forming close friendship bonds. For the fighters to get the opportunity to test their skills on a National level, and succeeding in our goal. We have made such good friends with different clubs, Quinton and Shaun from Tricore Martial Arts Gym - Brackenfell you guys are amazing. Thank you for your kindness and support during this tournament. Congratulations on your excellent results.
This shows that even if we have to fight each other for a placement, we can most definitely be friends and comrades afterwards no matter the result.
Well done to our fighters doing so well:
Anuschka 2 x Gold
CamRon 2 x Bronze
Hanru 1 x gold 1 x silver
Rogan 1 x silver ( had to retire from the tournament due to illegal guard jump that caused injury )
You have made us proud.
