ATA Las Vegas Nationals

Last Wednesday-Saturday Mr. Jouan & Miss Boulden traveled cross country to Las Vegas, Nevada for ATA Spring Nationals! The event took over the Las Vegas Convention Center and drew thousands of ATA competitors and ATA instructors from across the world. Miss Boulden & Mr. Jouan's agenda included a two day Oh Sung Do(Korean Broad Sword) Certification, ATA Fitness Tests, an Instructor Workout, and Black Belt High Rank Midterm Tests.

Although the students back home in West Chester were missed, the trip was a huge success! Both instructors had an informative Oh Sung Do Certification and can officially teach the new weapon at ATA West Chester! Although they had a tough judge, they both passed the ATA Fitness Test with flying colors! Miss Boulden scored a 349/300 and Mr. Jouan scored a 408/300! A lot of knowledge was shared from many of the Chief & Senior Masters at the Instructor Workout. Finally, the Midterm Test was a great success! Forms were completed, sparring was action packed, and board breaks were crushed! Results from the Midterm Test will be available in a few weeks after the ATA Headquarters reviews them.
