We're so proud of Alexander for his second place finish at Nationals! This is quite an accomplishment for a kid that's never competed at this level. Nationals brings a whole new level of stress and nerves because of all the people, the size of the venue, and the amount of practice and private lessons these kids put into to training. Even at 6(almost 7) Alexander spent countless hours in the dojo each week preparing. He tried really hard and has a great time which is more important than any medal! But, the shiny silver he got was great too!
