Battle of Atlanta
Atlanta, GA
One of the most prestigious Sport Martial Arts pointfighting tournaments in North America, Sensei MJ and Instructor Cole represented Amba Martial Arts and League of Angels at this "fighters paradise."
Although Cole didn't place, he got some great experience against some of the very best in the world. MJ was able to break through and take first place in his lightweight sparring division.
LOA had some great wins over the two-day Atlanta tournament. Thanks to our LOA teammates and coaches and Fighters-Inc. for their ongoing support.
WKU World Championships
Bregenz, Austria
MJ has the distinct honor of representing the USA in Austria in October at the WKU World Championships. Hand selected for the team, it's an incredible opportunity that not many martial arts receive, much less a martial artist from the Reno area.
