#DreamTeamOkinawa at 2015 US Open Karate Championship and Junior International Cup in Las Vegas.

Our team has been represented by 16 athletes, 5 coaches and many family members and friends. Everyone on the team demonstrated strong character, will to win and spectacular performance over 3 days of competition.
