Tiger Challenge

To a martial arts student a tournament can be an important, even career-changing, experience. But it is not the competition itself where all the benefit is found. The real value resides in the preparation. Having a goal with a deadline is often just what a training regime requires for focus and a sense of purpose.

Our annual Tiger Challenge Tournament is once again behind us. We’ve had bigger tournaments but I don’t think we’ve had one better. For an event that no matter how well prepared we are going in, last minute registrations and dropouts always throw in an unhealthy dose of stress the day of. Yet despite all the uncertainty, all the events went almost exactly at their estimated start times and the tournament finished exactly when predicted. That is a tribute to Sifu Csillag, the I Ho Chuan Team, and all the SRKF Black Belts who volunteered their time and expertise to make the tournament a success.

Thank you to everyone who made our Tiger Challenge a success this year. All the tournament proceeds will be donated to charity.
