Good Luck To All Our Aussies Heading To Russia!

[gvmartialarts]

As some of you may know, we have a strong team heading to Russia to compete in the 2012 IFMA World Championship.

This is the biggest World Championships with some 1,500 competitors battling it out over a week in a round robin tournament format. It is held in St Petersburg, and most of our athletes are either on their way or soon to depart.

I will do my best to keep this thread updated, and anyone else is more than welcome to help me out.

Good luck to our Aussie Fighters, Officials and Helpers. We all know you will do yourselves and us proud....
