July tournament update: ToDai Travis Sink and Sifu Jesse S. Jones attended and competed at the ICMAC Kung Fu Championships in Orlando July 15.

Sport Sanda Bronze Medal

This was both Evan and Travis’s first tournament, both fought very well and represented both schools and their Sifu’s well. We are very proud of everyone that came out and competed.

On another note, Sifu Jesse will be guest instructing at Sport Kung Fu Academy Jacksonville on Saturdays for the next several weeks while Master Anthony Arnett is in Australia completing his next Master Level and Instructing at the Global Traditional Wing Chun Association Headquarters in Melbourne with Grandmaster William Cheung.
