The WMMA HIT Team had a blast at the 2009 NAGA Midwest Championship Tournament on Saturday - and brought home sword trophies and many medals as well! Our High Intensity Team, coached by Mr. Ian Nevitt, consisted of Savannah Fredricksen, Kassandra Salgado, Johnny Zei, Jesus Hernandez, Josh Muhlenfeld, Jeremy Jarnecke, Assistant Instructor Jimmy Zei, Assistant Instructor Tara O'Connell, and Instructor Alan Dyson.
Despite some REALLY tough competition, our nine member team brought home nine medals, including two first place Swords, second and third place medals and one special Gold Medal for Good Sportsmanship earned when Johnny Zei took on an extra fight to help fill out a weight/age category and give some other fighters a chance to compete.
As always, our Team showed incredible perseverance on the mats - and even more incredible friendliness and good sportsmanship all around. It's always amazing how fighters that appear so engaged in battle can moments later be hugging and shaking hands - and congratulating each other on matches well fought. Truly, this is the reason we go to these National Events: to meet new friends, to compete on a friendly basis and to learn more about our art.
Pictures and videos will be available soon!
