Hello everyone, I just wanted to send a note out to everyone to say thanks for your efforts in putting on the tournament this weekend. I received so many positive comments and compliments about the tournament from coaches, parents and players who were in attendance. They were impressed with how well the tournament was run by the volunteers and expressed what a great experience it was for them. I couldn’t agree more—thanks for being such a great representation of our club, our sport and the University of Tennessee. I hope that you all feel a sense of pride in what you accomplished this weekend. Throughout the years, our tournament has become recognized as one of the (if not THE) best judo events in the Southeast. Thanks again for all of your hard work. It’s a true joy and honor to be part of the Martial Arts community here at UT and I really appreciate your support and participation. Sincerely, Mike Takata
