“I want to offer a huge note of thanks to all who made today’s trials possible. Event Coordinator Tim Kuth and his crew at TK Martial Arts did an incredible job as hosts. Vladislav Koulikov was fantastic on center mat as referee. All the event volunteers who made running today’s event so effortless were amazing. Our event physician Dr. Rob Karas; paramedics Jason Elam and Justin Pelletier; and security by Detective Aaron Pile of the Lowell Police Department were invaluable.

Huge thanks to our Team USA sponsors Chambers Bank, Fast Lane Entertainment, Absolute Force/Nike, Sport Olympia/Matman and all our crowdfunding donors (fundraising is not done yet! Worlds are in August).

Without our teams and athletes, we would have no tournament! Special thanks to the following gyms who sent teams to compete”
