Inspired, to say the least...

Team MAGIC returns home from the Michigan Jiu Jitsu Championship 2011 with some medals in tow. It was a very long day (12 hours, not including drive time), but it was a worth it. Jiu Jitsu is about learning, through both winning and losing. Tournaments help us to realize what techniques and strategies we need to work on both individually and as a team. We are fortunate to have such a supportive group of students and families. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us. Phil, sorry we missed you in the picture!
Of all the matches of the day, I want to pay a special homage to Mark Kelland. Mark is an amazing individual that has a great work ethic. You would never guess that Mark is 52 years old and has two artificial hips. Inspiring, to say the least!
