WLW Karate Chopped the Competition at the Ninjatational!

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What an amazing tourney with great hard work, great new fun, and very well run! Our first thank you goes to the alums who helped judge, run tab, and all that jazz. Our second thank you goes to Mrs. Bloch for providing us with a new "forensics box." Another thank you goes to the Franes for constantly coming to tournaments for support, as well as the Alguires and Zeigelmans. We would also like to thank the Franes for the donuts! Of course we can't forget the competitors themselves! Thanks to all you guys who put in the time and effort to make us what we can be!
