This past March, Lincoln played host to one of the 2013 Tiger Rock National Championships. The National Championships are held in several locations around the United States and are part of the path for competitors on the way to the World Championships coming up in New Orleans, LA.
Held at the University of Nebraska’s Cook Pavilion, the competition had well over 2,000 competitors and families in attendance. Competitors came from Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. Competition areas included sparring, traditional forms, team sparring, free design forms, Xtreme forms, board breaking, and agility course competition.
The competition at Tiger Rock events is intense and at the same time manages to remain very positive, as students meet both victory and defeat with humility and honor. One of the tenets of Tiger Rock Martial Arts is “community”. As part of this, owner Jeff Dousharm presented a donation on behalf of the event, instructors and competitors to City Impact in Lincoln for the sum of $500.
After over 18 years in Nebraska, Tiger Rock continues to serve and support the Lincoln community. You can visit their website at tracademy.com or find them on Facebook for more information on local events.
