National Ju Jitsu tournament in Akron, Ohio

Hi! We went to Akron, Ohio this past weekend for Zack's ju jitsu tournament. He did very well and came home with 2 bronze medals and a silver medal. The bronze were for kumite (fighting) and weapons. His silver was for the Duo team. His duo partner is in the photo above along with their coaches. For the duo, they do planned attacks with self defense moves, one is the attacker and the other is the "victim". They did a great job. They have only been doing the ju jitsu for a few months (less than a year). Some of the other schools that came had kids who had been doing it a lot longer. In fact this was actually a qualifier for a world competition and some of the competitors (not in Zack's age group, but a little older) will be asked to join the USA team (not for the Olympics but another World event-not sure when or where). Anyway, thought I would do a bit of bragging here!
