This was our second tournament- we did extremely good, my goal was to give my students the opportunity to apply their skills learned outside of class. I prepared them for the "politics" of tournaments (as we all know can be quite unfair) so that they understood as long as they fought bravely and applied the skills learned, I would be satisfied...and of course that they do there best! YES! We had a BLAST,FUN,etc!
