She competed in 4 events and placed in all 4!

🥉 - Traditional Forms

🥇 - Traditional Weapons and Open Weapons

Tournament of Champions was today at the GTMA Global Celebration and Mrs. Hodges qualified in 5 events, earning the title of Global Champion in 3 of them!

🥉 - Traditional Forms
🥈 - Traditional Weapons
🥇 - Traditional Sparring, CXM Forms, and CXM Weapons

While she did qualify for Grand Champion, Mrs. Hodges did choose to bow out due to her ongoing mobility and pain condition. For the safety of competition tomorrow morning, she found it best to rest her body for the start of the tournament year but did stay to cheer on her fellow ladies and assist with the judging.

We are so proud of her for her hard work over this last tournament year!

Started off Tournament of Champions by working hard.

Mica had a fun opportunity to observe the competitors who qualified in the Special Abilities rings! GTMA has rings for both physical and cognitive and we love that there is opportunity for them to shine strong as Global Champions!

High ranks are loving that Mica is here to assist in judging. It makes everything run so much smoother. :)

We've got Mx. Mica working hard on those double BME drills with Grand Master Westbrook!
Keep it up!!

We live on the sun here in Tucson, or as close as one could be to the sun, so remember to hydrate throughout the day and bring your hydration to class!

Summer Camp 3 starts in LESS THAN A WEEK (July 13th 2026) and we can't wait for another fun and active week with our campers! We've kept them busy and very tired while we spend the morning working on multiple activities to keep them busy, busy, busy!

- Weapons training
- Kick drills
- Agility and obstacle courses
- Art and creativity
- Challenges

It's not too late to sign up for one more week of fun activities and we'll see you there!

A HUGE thank you to these amazing leaders who took time out of their Saturday to help us clean up under our mats and then reset everything for when classes resume.

Students lifted the mats, brushed dirt off, vacuumed dirt up, and helped tidy up.
Not seen was the relaxing pizza break and fort made out of our training materials. ☺️
