And the Winner of the Boys’ Sparring Division, Ages 13-17, Green and Green Brown Is…
Tournament Time!
Saturday was our martial art schools tournament. Arctic Boy won first place in his sparring division. It was a lot of fun, the judges were having fun doing their job and it carried over to the competitors. They have these tournaments every 6 months, but this was our first one in about 2 years, due mainly to being in China.

Off to a slow start...
"Come on, you have to actually get close enough to hit each other."
Okay! First point!
Next match... A double whammy.
Watch out for the fake-out kick - it might be real.
Ding Ding Ding! Winning point!
Final match for first place - Won with "monkey climbs the tree". Maybe they should change that to gorilla?
