Team:

We took a great team of competitors to the Bluegrass Open this weekend. Every one of our students had some excellent matches and fought with solid technique and lots of heart. We took one gold, two silvers, and one bronze -- all in all, a very good day for everyone involved.

For those of you who stepped out on the mats, we commend you. It's always difficult to lay yourself on the line in a new environment with an unknown opponent. We'd also like to thank everyone who came out and supported the team....students, parents, and family, in particular.

In addition, this type of experience wouldn't be possible without the effort of Louisville Martial Arts Academy, which started the tradition back in 1998. It's grown to be a world-class event with tough competition.

We'll have a complete highlight video posted soon.

See you all on the mat!
