Great Pumpkin Tournament 2009

On Sunday, Oct 25th, students from OC School of Martial Arts competed in the 2009 Great Pumpkin Tournament in Corona, CA and returned with 14 trophies!  I know that for many it was a great test of courage. Whether you came home with top honors or not I'm 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...
