The dojang was sweltering Thursday night, not because of the unseasonably warm weather but because of the tremendous effort displayed by our Jr Kicks in the fall "Just for Kicks" in-school tournament.  For some of our students it was their first ever tournament and we're proud of the courage they demonstrated.  And now for the results...
