28th Denver Martial Arts Championships

A wonderful two day tournament at Alameda International Junior/Senior High School took place September 8-9, 2017!  It was the 28th Denver Martial Arts Championships and it was even bigger than last year's!

Students from across the CTI competed in poomse, sparring, breaking and more at this annual fall championship tournament.  The action began on Friday evening with Moo Sul Kwan black belt competitions including; sparring, breaking and poomse.  Black Belt poomse was very well done, sparring was exciting and there were boards flying all over the place!

Saturday began early with black belt staff competitions.  Red, brown and purple belt divisions went next and were followed by all the other belt and age groups.  Our United States National Anthem was sung this time by Mr. Michael Sandusky, 4th dan and Mr. Kameron Evans, 1st dan.

Here are the results!
