I have been remiss in some of my duties due to the remodeling in our school. This past May, Horizon Martial Arts (HMA) participated in the NAFMA National Championships in Philadelphia. I am proud to announce that Team Buffalo garnered 26 National titles. Team Buffalo was compromised mostly of members from HMA headed up by Datu Tim Hartman.
What made this tournament unique was that, in addition to having the standard karate divisions, it also had special Modern Arnis divisions in hand and weapon forms, along with stick fighting. The Modern Arnis divisions were dominated by HMA members. Special congratulations to Datu Hartman who swept all three Modern Arnis events to become the 2006 Modern Arnis champion.
The 2007 championships will be in Atlantic City, Memorial Day weekend. The regional qualifiers are as follow:
