Pranshi: A true rising star, Pranshi competed in all 3 categories of competition. Winning gold in Kata, silver in Weapons, and bronze in Kumite, Pranshi's commitment to excellence and focused training regimen is evident. Her achievements at this tournament are a true testament to what our students can get from investing their time in our Competition Kata and Kumite classes!

As instructors, we take immense pride in our students' achievements in karate, but also helping them develop into disciplined, confident individuals. All the medals our dojo earned symbolize not just victories in competition, but also an embodiment of the principles that make our dojo a place of growth, respect, and shared success!
