On September 11, 2010, MAI participated in the Hotel Circle tournament and did great! All of our kids placed at least once in the tournament with many of them winning multiple trophies. We are proud of how hard our students worked in preparation for this tournament and so glad that their hard work paid off. Congratulations!

Compete 2010

2010-03-06T18:30:00.000-08:00

Compete 2010 was our first tournament for our Black Belt Club Tournament Team and the results were great! We took home a total of 13 trophies: (2) 1st places, (4) 2nd places, and (7) 3rd places. The best part was seeing our black belts support and encourage one another throughout the tournament in between their own competitions. At MAI, this is the true measure of our dojo's team spirit and leadership. Thank you to all the parents who supported us and took some great pictures of this event. Go here to see all the photos.
