Thanks Tony for the kind words. It was such a great experience being able to travel across the country with Atienza Kali and participate in an event such as Cold Steel. People were very hospitable, curious, and thoughtful. One of the factors that stick out in my mind is the level of sportsmanship exhibited during the competitions. I look foward to what next year brings in terms of
old and new faces from all the different schools including Atienza Kali. Once
again, I was very happy to meet and be exposed to so many different people from a variety of great systems out there.

Respectfully,
Josh

Atienza Kali does it again! Congrats Josh!!!

What's great is that there's so many excellent AK reps out there, that people are just beginning to scratch the depth of AK's system.

AK reps have been sparring with Sayoc students for so long now that we take quality skirmishes for granted.
