Thank you to everyone who helped us organize and run our first tournament! Thanks also to all the students who showed their stuff – we are proud of your hard work! For our first tournament, things went very well. We already have some ideas on how to improve for the next time around (maybe Spring of 2010).
We also thank the Shelton Isshinryu Dojo for making the commute to help us with our event. The Shelton black belts were a huge help and their students were very respectful and had great attitudes. We are glad to have supportive friends in martial arts community.
If anyone has photos or videos that they would like to share, please pitch in and we will add them to the websites, this blog or my YouTube channel.
Thanks again to all the parents, Sensei, and competitors and spectators who were involved in this event, it was a great experience!

The friendship tournament was great! A very positive experience for everyone. Nice for our kids to see students from another school too. We are already looking forward to the next one.
