Earlier this month, the Competition of Champions X, sponsored by The Self-Defense Institute was held at the Wynn Middle School in Tewksbury. It was a weekend of excitement and family bonding.

From the Competition of Champions, students qualify for the Northeast Regionals in Boston.

Students from TEAM TSDI tied for 1st place and then finished with 2nd place in Boston at the Fall 2009 Team Competition at the Regionals.

Last year, in Fall 2010 in Boston, there was not a team division, but TSDI students took home 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies in individual divisions for forms, weapons, and sparring.

Several of the students earned top honors at the competition. Photos from the competition were provided by the Tewskbury Self-Defense Institute. Included are two photos from the 2010 Regional Competition.
