We had an incredible day at the Nisei Open Invitational in Fort Lauderdale on March 1st, 2025! The energy was fantastic, and our Vital Martial Arts Academy students really stepped up and showed their skills. It was a great opportunity to see all their hard work pay off, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone who competed.
Our team faced some tough competition, competing against top Kung Fu, Karate, Krav Maga, and Taekwondo schools from across South Florida, but they represented the academy with dedication and sportsmanship. It was awesome to see the support and camaraderie among our students.
