On Sunday, Feb 21, OCKicks students competed in the 2010 Southern California Friendship Tournament and returned with 26 trophies!  We know that for many it was a great test of courage. Whether you came home with top honors or not we are very proud of you and look forward to seeing you compete again.  Parents you too should be proud of the efforts and courage your children displayed.

And now for the results...we had 16 students compete and 15 bring back a total of 26 trophies including 6 of the top honors in their divisions! To see a full list of the results read more below.  To add to the excitement 8 of our students have been invited to compete in the Disney Martial Arts Festival held at Disneyland in June.

Congratulations to everyone who competed! We are extremely proud of your efforts to prepare last week and the outcome of your competition regardless of the results.
