Otis’s Journey Began with a Single Tournament

We’re in the final week for students to register for the upcoming tournament—registrations close this Sunday! If you’ve been thinking about competing, now’s the time to take the leap!

Otis’s Story
Starting as a Little Champion white belt, Otis has climbed the ranks and recently earned two gold medals at the 2023 Soke Cup.

His journey is proof that when you commit, challenge yourself, and never give up, amazing things can happen. Every champion starts somewhere—Otis’s success began with a single tournament, and yours can too!

Tournaments are about so much more than medals—they’re about discovering strengths, building confidence, and growing alongside your dojo family.

Whether it’s your first tournament or another step toward a bigger goal, the experience will push you beyond what you thought possible and create lifelong memories.

Your dojo family is here to support you every step of the way. Let’s show up together, cheer each other on, and make this tournament one to remember!

Registrations close this Sunday, October 13th—don’t miss out on this opportunity to challenge yourself and be part of something special!
