February Tournament Results

Conner Shave, Oliver Shave and Isaac williams

Issac Williams scores in his sparring victory


Local taekwondo students fared well at the Evolution Series Tournament #3, sponsored by Rising Son Martial Arts at DC Everest High School in Wausau recently.

Second degree black belt Isaac Williams dominated the 12 to 14 year-old division, winning first place in both sparring and board breaking with a second place in forms.  Williams used a butterfly kick, a spinning hook speed break and an autobahn kick to smash three boards. His decisive 15-6 victory in sparring was exciting and strategic.

Black belt Mike Molden also won first place in sparring for the men’s division and took home third medal for the forms competition.

Brothers  Oliver and Connor Shave also garnered wins in their first tournament competition.  High blue belt Oliver excelled in forms, taking first place, and grabbing second place in sparring and board breaking, using a back over kick and a switching axe for his two boards.  Yellow belt Connor took first place in creative forms and third in board breaking, using a step in side kick and a back walkover axe kick.

Congratulations!
