An Olympian and An Olympic tournament

Josh and Carley recently had the opportunity to attend a sparring seminar with Terrence Jennings, 2012 Olympic bronze medalist. He ran them through several exercise drills, did a question-answer session and then posed with them for pictures.



The next day they both competed in their first Olympic tournament. Olympic-style sparring is different than the Point sparring than they have been doing. Instead of the match being stopped at each point, competitors attempt to get the most points in two 60-second rounds.



Josh took second in his division. Carley did not place but did her best. Both were frustrated for a variety of reasons but this was a learning experience on several levels. We will all know better what to expect when they compete in another Olympic-style tournament.









I couldn't be more proud of these two.
