This weekend’s sparring festival was a COMPLETE success. Over 75 people from several Texas schools (even New Orleans), competed with each other during 8 solid hours of sparring. The atmosphere was awesome, with everyone cheering each other on. Every student got to spar at least four to five rounds and the winners more than that. The following are the champions. In the children’s division, they were all brave to step up and face the challenge so they are all champions.
