On January 18, our academy had the privilege of participating in the FUJI Kansas City Winter Open, and we couldn’t be prouder of our team’s performance. From our youngest competitors to our seasoned adults, everyone showcased incredible skill, determination, and heart on the mats.

Celebrating Our Medalists

Our adult competitors brought home two silver medals, each earned through hard-fought battles that demonstrated their technical growth and unwavering perseverance. Meanwhile, our kids’ team made an impressive showing with six bronze medals, a testament to their dedication and the hard work they’ve put into training.

These results reflect more than just medals; they highlight the spirit of resilience and sportsmanship that defines our academy. Many of our competitors were competing for the first time, which is a win in itself. Every match, whether it ended in victory or defeat, was an opportunity to learn and grow.

Looking Forward to the Next Challenge

While we celebrate these achievements, our team’s focus is already shifting toward the future. Every competitor left the tournament inspired and eager to refine their skills for the next challenge. The energy in our academy has never been more electric, and we’re ready to channel that momentum into our training sessions.
