Kicking Aces

 

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

March 2008

The 2007 American Martial Arts AAU Junior Olympic Team, also known as the “Kicking Aces,” are our Students of the Month! From July 30th – August 4th, 2007 seven of our students went to Knoxville, TN to compete in the Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics. These seven kids (from ages 8-17) traveled many miles competing in several preliminary tournaments in order to be prepared for the level of competition at the Junior Olympics. They all began their training in January under the tutelage of team captain Mr. Joe Fucci. They all went to Knoxville and represented Panama City Beach & American Martial Arts with dignity, honor, and an indomitable spirit! Way to go Kicking Aces!!!
