<\/a>First and foremost, our heartfelt appreciation goes out to all the martial artists who showcased their skills, passion, and unwavering determination throughout the tournament – from the Under 12 Kids in the huge 22 pools, who had many fights to get through during the whole day, to the exciting Reaction Counter Speed Competition, to the surprise team from Egypt, to the amazing pro\/am point fighting title fight between Brodie Lowry and Elwin Huber, to everyone who stayed and made it for the squad training the day after despite the long tournament day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We would also like to express our deep gratitude to the referees and representatives who tirelessly ensured fair play and upheld the highest standards of sportsmanship throughout the competition.
