One of the things I enjoy most about traveling for martial arts is getting to experience places I might never have visited otherwise.
On July 18, we'll be heading to Greenfield for the Whistlekick Summer Challenge. We're excited for a great day of competition, but we're also excited to spend time in a community that has already been incredibly welcoming to us.
Greenfield has great local restaurants, unique shops, outdoor activities, and plenty of ways to make a summer day a little more memorable. Whether you're competing, coaching, cheering someone on, or just along for the ride, I encourage you to take some time to explore the area while you're here.
One of the goals of the Summer Challenge is to create an event that feels a little different. Along with forms, weapons forms, and point sparring, we'll also be offering some fun bonus events, including Flag Sparring, Synchronized Forms, and the Power Breaking Gauntlet. We hope those events add a little extra energy and excitement to the day.
We're also asking for your help.
If you find a great restaurant, discover a fun local shop, or stumble across something worth sharing, let us know. After the tournament, we'd love to put together a follow-up article featuring recommendations and experiences from competitors, families, coaches, and spectators who spent the day in Greenfield.
Martial arts tournaments bring us together for competition, but some of the best memories often happen outside the ring. We hope you'll join us for the Summer Challenge, enjoy everything Greenfield has to offer, and help us discover some great places along the way.
Pre-registration for the Whistlekick Summer Challenge closes on Sunday, July 12, at midnight. If you're planning to join us in Greenfield, don't wait until the last minute.
We still have two pre-registration prize drawings coming up on June 20 and July 5, and every pre-registered competitor is automatically entered. The earlier you register, the more chances you have to win.
Your registration includes forms, weapons forms, point sparring, and one bonus division. Whether you're interested in Flag Sparring, Synchronized Forms, or testing yourself in the Power Breaking Gauntlet, it's all included for one price.
If you're not registered yet, what's holding you back?
We'd love to see you in Greenfield on July 18. Register today, bring some friends, and come spend a great day of martial arts with us.
