Day 86 / 101 - Grand Champ!

On Saturday my children competed in the Asian Sun Grand Champion Interschool Tournament.  There were four competition events: Forms, Board Breaking, Padded Weapons, and Sparring.  If you competed in all four events, you had a chance to win a divisional Grand Champion trophy.  There were over 300 competitors!

My son has been gunning for one of these trophies for the past two years.  Well, I'm happy to say that Saturday was his day.  He took first in all four events, and was the only Black Belt at the tournament to do so.  As a result, he won the Grand Champion trophy for the Black Belt division.  Above you see him proudly displaying not only his grand champ trophy, but also his four first place awards!
