Together We Rise Tournament
Mueller’s Martial Arts’s tournament is this weekend! This tournament is extremely special and unlike any other tournament in the fact that it is co-hosted with Venture Martial Arts! This is the opportunity for the two schools to come together and show that together we rise! Not only that, but students from all around the state of Colorado and those traveling in the National Martial Arts Alliance will come together to compete.
The tournament starts at 8:00am on Saturday and will be held at the Volk Gymnasium at the Colorado School of Mines. Students of all ranks and ages will get the chance to come home with a big, heavy medal shaped like a phoenix rising. More importantly, they’ll get to show off everything they’ve learned and see who the best of the best is.
Tournaments are an amazing opportunity for growth. Students are pushed out of their comfort zones and go in front of dozens of people to show what they have learned. They gain confidence, public speaking skills, and showmanship just by competing one time. Even if they don’t place, they still learn perseverance and never give up. It’s a challenge, but to prove to themselves that they can do it gives them one of the best feelings of accomplishment.
It’s also a chance to meet other people. Since students compete from all around the state, they get to meet and foster friendships with people they don’t see everyday. Some of these students become their friends for life. They get to share knowledge, competitiveness, and a passion for what they both love- taekwondo.
This tournament is particularly special because as we said before, it’s a partnership tournament. It’s the chance for Venture and Mueller’s to come together to make something incredibly great. By working together, we are uplifting and showing the power of the entire organization. We are all in this together, to support, to appreciate, and encourage each other. Plus, there will be a food truck- 5280 Burger Bar- and a dessert truck- Suz Cookie Jar Rescue. Who doesn’t love that? Most importantly, it’s to show the power of working together because TOGETHER WE RISE!
