Also congratulations to all the kids that competed in the recreational divisions at this tournament. For many of them it was their first competition experience. Some got medals, some lost their matches...but all of this is just the process of an athlete's development. Participation in tournaments motivates kids to work harder in the gym and brings some excitement to their routine.

The next tournament we will have is in April. This gives everybody time to get stronger and to improve.

Let's not to waste time! Set your goals and work to achieve them!
