With 62 competitors in the 2016 Kempo Martial Arts Invitational tournament, all of our Cutting Edge Kempo students represented their Dojo well. Winning a trophy has nothing to do with competing in a martial arts tournament. It takes a lot of guts to perform in front of a large capacity crowd, in front of judges you are not familiar with, but the experience of meeting other martial artists and sharing your love of the arts is irreplaceable.

As your instructor I am proud of all of you, trophy or not. You all are winners for taking on the daunting task of training the way we do, in hopes of enhancing your life skills while getting in shape. Great job everyone!

Here are a few of the photos people have shared of the event, and I will post more as I get them.
