We Win or We Learn, sometimes we can do both

Today, I had the honor and privilege to coach our students at the Grappling Industries Jiujitsu tournament.

I was extremely impressed with their technical skills, but what I was just completely floored by was their courage, strength, honor, sportsmanship, and rallying around each other.

Today’s experience is what martial arts the Lightning Kicks way is truly about. I saw students fight through serious injury, and I saw students that were winning stop the match to check on their opponents who were injured.

I am truly humbled to have the caliber of people we do at Lightning Kicks. The future is bright.

Khillah
