Way to Go BLK Lindon!!
SWAT - 1st place
STORM - 2nd place

With over 400 competitors, this was quite the tournament. Competitors competed in Forms, Self Defense, Sparring and Weapons. We were so proud of all our students! We know that this can be a little nerve wracking but all the hard work and dedication certainly pays off! We know that your competing will help you to grow as a martial artist and will help increase your confidence.
We look forward to seeing more of you at the Spring Tournament!

Lindon Parade 8.8.09

So we began August with another awesome Parade!! We were able to perform as a SWAT and STORM team with Justus in the lead. This was our last parade for the season and hope that you had the chance to come and see us in action! If you would like your student (or yourself for that matter) to be a part of a fun, energetic, dynamic, and great team then just let us (front desk) know and we will direct you to the time and place for the tryouts! This is a great opportunity for all to come and learn how to be a leader in Bobby Lawrence Karate and be a part of TEAM JUSTUS!!
