Congratulations to everyone who competed at the Twin Towers Karate Tournament 2011 in Manhattan this weekend!

This was definitely one of the most challenging tournaments we’ve participated in so far. It was exciting to watch the caliber of talent at this event. What an amazing opportunity for our students to experience this level of competition!

Urban Martial Arts took home two 1st place trophies, two 2nd place trophies, four 3rd place trophies, and five 4th place trophies!

For a few of our students, this was only their first or second tournament and as you’ll see in the video above, they showed a lot of heart!

Great job, everybody! We look forward to seeing how you’ll do in the next tournament!
