<b>Congratulations to our Fighters!<br><br>
</b>A special thanks to our fighters and those students who came to cheer
them on this last Saturday, for the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation
Midwest US Regional Championships. Several of our students fought for the
first time, and everyone had a great time. Nick Wintergerst placed
2nd in Men's 169-171 lbs Single Stick Fighting, and 4th in Men's 171-181
lbs Double Stick Fighting. Mr. Sell placed 2nd in both Single and
Double Stick Fighting Divisions in Men's 221 and over weight class.
Other competitors included Kari Schulz, Henry Pietrie, and Michael &
Samantha Fischbach.<br><br>
We are all looking forward to the National Championships, scheduled to be
held in Milwaukee in February of 2006. Make sure you mark your
calendars so you can be there as our fighters compete for a spot on the
US Team. For more information on these tournaments and how the
