🏔️ THANK YOU from all of us at Summit Martial Arts! 🏔️
Our 6th Annual Summit Open Martial Arts Challenge is officially in the books – and what an incredible weekend it was.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to:
🥋 All the competitors who stepped onto the mats with courage, respect, and indomitable spirit
👨👩👧👦 The families who cheered, supported, and helped their athletes shine
🙌 Our amazing Summit Squad volunteers – set-up crew, scorekeepers, ring runners, weigh-ins, check-in, medals, table staff and more. This tournament does not happen without you.
🏫 All the clubs and instructors who travelled, coached, and trusted us with their students
⚖️ Our judges and officials for your time, fairness, and professionalism
🤝 Our sponsors and vendors for adding extra energy and excitement to the event
Running a tournament is months of behind-the-scenes work – brackets, schedules, rules, medals, training volunteers, and learning new systems – but seeing everyone come together on tournament day makes it all worth it.
Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support as we hosted this year’s event.
We’re already excited to keep improving and making the Summit Open even better for years to come.
With appreciation,
Mrs. & Master Morris
