SWAT - BYU Volleyball Halftime

SWAT team performed at the BYU Volleyball Halftime show on November 1st. We heard so many great comments from spectators and BYU staff. They were all impressed with how great our little team did :)

INTERSCHOOL TOURNAMENT - SWAT

Team Justus SWAT

takes 2nd place!!!
at the Bobby Lawrence Karate Fall Interschool Tournament

Wow!!!! It was so impressive to watch our young team compete at the tournament. For all but one member, this is their FIRST year being a part of the BLK Lindon SWAT team (and even our solo returning member has only been on for 2 years). They are a very young team both in level and age compared to the other teams but their hard work, focus and commitment definitely shined through!! They also just implemented a new demo that they are working on for a upcoming half time show in February.
They looked fantastic. Way to go team!!

SWAT - Riverton Grand Opening

The SWAT team received a special invitation to come and perform at the Grand Opening of the Bobby Lawrence Karate school in Riverton, Utah. The owner, 5th degree Black Belt Jeff Vincent is an amazing martial artist and one of Justus's best friends. So this was definitely a special event.
It was a great chance for them to try out some of their new stuff before there upcoming performance at the Interschool Tournament.
Way to Go SWAT!

FEATURE - Brandon Hansen

Brandon is our senior member of the Bobby Lawrence Karate SWAT team and has done a fantastic job of leading this year's team. We can always count on Brandon to come with a great attitude and ready to work. He does a great job of looking out for the new members of this years team. And through his example of Black Belt Excellence he has inspired his little brother AND his dad to pursue their own black belt goals. Brandon is a great part of the team and we are grateful for the commitment he gives to all his karate goals.

SUPER STUDENT - Lindsay Shimanek

Lindsay was one of our first students when we opened our school in Lindon and she has continued to take first in so many other ways. Lindsay is a hard worker and dedicated to truly bringing out the best in herself and others. She has now competed in many tournaments where her numerous trophies show off where all that hard work has taken her. She is an excellent team member and a great part of the SWAT team. She is always cheering and encouraging the members of her team, her classmates and teachers at events and Black Belt tests. She is a great example of Black Belt Excellence and we LOVE having her as part of the Bobby Lawrence Karate Lindon SWAT team.

LINDON PARADE

Woohoo - way to go SWAT and STORM at our last parade of the season. It was a smaller parade but the enthusiasm was high and had a great home town feel. Both teams did FANTASTIC. STORM team looked phenomenal and did a great job keeping things in sync and sharp. And it's been especially fun to watch how far our SWAT team has come this season (many of them are first time members of the team.
We are so proud of you guys!
And a special thanks to our invited karate guests. As a reward for hard work in class and at karate kamp, we invited these students to attend the parade. They all did a great job and were great examples of BLK Lindon!
Be sure to thank your parents because we couldn't do it with out them! We appreciate all the time you have taken to get them to practices and events. The kids have been doing so well because of the commitment both you and your demo team member have put in.
You guys ROCK!

SPECIAL GUESTS

OREM PARADE - SUMMERFEST

I LOVE this parade! Of all the parades we do, I think it's my favorite. The best part of the whole thing... they are the only ones who do it in the evening.
There was such a great crowd and the kids all did such a great job!

PLEASANT GROVE PARADE

We did this parade with the American Fork school, so we came with quite the entourage :)
