Seven Star Dragons @ Spring Smash 2018: 24 Wins & 3 Grand Champion Titles!<\/h5>\n

Eleven members of the Seven Star Dragons Competition Team attended the 2018 Spring Smash in Kokomo, Indiana on May 5th. It was a beautiful spring day and the event was well-attended with strong competition. The Grand Champion prizes were fantastic and featured wireless headphones, PlayStation 4 gaming consoles, and more!<\/p>\n

“I am so excited and proud of my students that competed in Kokomo, Indiana at Spring Smash! I loved watching the improvements each accomplished! We won 3 Grand Champions in Kata and Weapons! They loved those new Play Station 4\u2019s! Thank you Mr. Donnie Michael and staff for a great time and such awesome awards!” – Master Davis<\/p>\n
