Nine Tiger Rock competitors bring home 24 medals!!

On July 11^th, 12^th, and 13^th over 170 Tiger Rock Martial Arts academies came together in New Orleans for our World Championships. This is the largest event we have every year. School from around the world that are Tiger Rocks participate in the competition.

Our academy brought 9 competitors and out of the 9 competitors our academy brought back 24 medals, 9 gold, 7 silver and 8 bronze. The greatest accomplishment that we had there was that our instructor, Sr. 5^th degree Shannon Donnell, was in the championship ring competing for first place against Sr. 5^th degree Kevin Crutchfield.  They have to spar and defend for two minutes and the one who reaches 7 points or has the highest score at the end of time wins. Shannon Donnell ended up a 1^st place World Champion with a score of 6-5.

This was Donnell's first time in the finale. He is 40 and his opponent was 31. He is a great instructor at the Tiger Rock Martial Arts Academy in Sioux Falls and has been teaching lessons there since 2008.
