Its popularity has resulted in the varied development of martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, meditation and philosophy.

It's amazing how much a group of dedicated and talented individuals can accomplish in such a short time - the team was only able to practice 3 times as a group, while each team member worked on their parts on their own, due to a packed schedule. Even so, our team was selected by the organizers to receive an award for Outstanding Performance! Congratulations to everyone involved - from the students who practiced, the parents that got them there and all the helpers along the way.
