Travel to World Championships

Two senior instructors and four students from Tahoe City Martial Arts Academy have been invited to compete at the WTSDA Martial Arts World Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. This invitation was extended to these students and instructors because of their recent success at the WTSDA Region One Martial Arts Championship.  We need your help to support these students and instructors so they can travel to and compete at the WTSDA Martial Arts World Championship representing the Lake Tahoe Region.  Go Lake Tahoe!
