We need your help to promote the Golden Eagle Challenge and to help us grow, so please share this email with all your martial arts friends. The Challenge is a unique event not only because it is a katas/forms only event, but it challenges the competitor to perform multiple times and for some, to perform multiple katas/forms. It pushes the competitor to give their best each time.
