Tournament Recap
The first tournament of the year serves as a significant checkpoint for all competitors. They can measure the progress that they make throughout the year against how they performed at the first tournament and reflect on the lessons and experiences gained.
Our team kicked off the new year by bringing home 5 gold medals and 2 silver medals, We're immensely proud of how these students have set the stage for an incredible year of learning. We've seen how each of them has grown since their respective Day 1 on the mats, and we cannot wait to see how much more they continue to grow in the year ahead. As always, we want to express our deepest thanks to the support of the families that make up our Six Blades family!
