I love it when a plan comes together

For those of you who didn't know, I opened a martial arts school here in town. It's been a tough year but today it was all worth while. The summer kids went to a multi-school tournament and kicked ass.

We took 10 kids to complete with about 60 or 70 others. They came away with 2 division champions, 3 first places, 4 second and 4 thirds; all ages 7 to 11. One of the first places was for sparring, his first time, just taking ringside direction.

Kinda makes it all worthwhile.

OUTSTANDING!!!! +10, no gig pit, and you get H2O from the Instructor's blister bag (yup, the one with the cold water, with ice) and the first shower at MacKall (yup, the only hot, well, warm, one).
