Now that i have had the opportunity to regroup from this weekends events, i wanted to take the time out to thank each and every participant and supporter of Sundays competitions!!!
The amount of support that we received was OVERWHELMING, and i am still reeling from the amazing competition that transpired from sun up to sun down! The energy was infectious and amazing, and the exciting divisions across the board gave everyone plenty to cheer for.
This event was an ohmage to old school competition with a new school feel, and demonstrated the direction that we are looking to push towards which is a no nonsense, politic free environment that is both competitive and FUN! Its not often that we as instructors get an opportunity to be a fan of our students, and i saw each and every instructor present enjoying their students hard work and competitive success!
Between the jiu-jitsu portion and the karate portion there are so many people to thank. Over the next few days i will do my very best to acknowledge each and every one of you, however after a long weekend and flight back if i may miss or fail to acknowledge anyone i do ask that you charge it to my head and not my heart! If you have ever promoted an event you know that the event itself takes a tremendous amount of effort and energy to plan, the day of the event is both exhausting and grueling, and post event, often times, the work has not concluded, so again please forgive me if i may overlook someone in my old age, lol, i PROMISE you that we are grateful and we love and appreciate you!!!
I do however want to extend a very special thanks to my staff that were present from beginning to end, not only putting in a 12 hour day of working hard to ensure that things ran as smoothly as they possibly could, but many of you competed as well and did an OUTSTANDING job! I have ALWAYS been blessed with the most loyal and dedicated people in my life, and i simply couldn't ask for a better group of individuals. Thanks to all of the judges and refs that came early and stayed late to make sure that both events ran smoothly, and thanks to everyone who contributed to the overall success of this event! I am excited for the next one and i hope that you are too!!! There is PLENTY more to come!!!
