I don't let them know...but as a coach, I just take a step back and look at all the members and our coaches, and just am amazed how fast everyone has improved. It's been over 7 years since we started this Academy in Portage Park, and we are still going strong.

Day 2 Results:

πŸ₯‡ Max wins gold in the finals against a game opponent bringing his record to 9-1 in the intermediate division

πŸ₯‰ Robert takes home bronze in a heavier weight class against last year's Team USA champion

As always, I am proud of not only these two as fighters, but who they are as people. Remaining humble in victory and all smiles in defeat, they keep improving each time. Learning more about Max every fight I get excited about the future holds for him in this sport. He puts on clinic after clinic and has one of the highest fight IQs at his level. He will be a world champion one day. For now, he enjoys his victory taking gold and a well deserved break until he gets back on the grind.

Robert is one tough dude. He moved up a weight class, and drew one of the best in the nation as his opponent and school were well known, but that didn't stop him from bringing the dog out of him in the fight. One of the most impressive displays of fighting he's put out, he unfortunately suffered a cut in the 2nd round that prevented him from seeing a bit, but still kept up the pace and landed some big shots. In this sport there can only be one winner, but I consider this a big win for him and excited to see what the rest of the year can bring for him!

See you all back in the Chi!
