I've been receiving a lot of feedback about our representation at the AGF Missoula Championship in Missoula, which we attended on 3/28/2024.
Parents, coaches, and professors from other academies watched.
They've reached out.
They witnessed us putting into practice the life skills we focus on every month.
To my students who take the homework seriously, it was obvious that it's who we are. Our sportsmanship and humility shined bright. We brought the best of who we were that day and now have many more experiences to grow from. To the families that stuck it out until the end to support the team and have a cheering section, thank you 🙏🏻.

I'd like to personally thank each and every one of my students and families for continuing to believe in us. Having a great competitive team is fun. Having a tribe of incredible humans is priceless. From 4 to 58 years old, we've built a team that can show up for one another on and off the mats. -Coach Cody

If you want to go fast, go alone
If you want to go far, go together
