Reviews from Stars and Stripes 2015.
Coach Angel AranzamendiВ I want to thank Master Kevin Pruter for the amazing event he, his wife, daughter, and staff ran. The 2015 Stars & Stripes Tournament was a great experience for my kids and the entire Legacy Nation Team. The event started on time and ended by 5pm, sparring only using Daedo hogus and head gear. Each ring had an IR referee insuring rules and safety were obseved. A double elimination event which was gave all multiple fights making the trip worthwhile. There were virtuality NO arguments all day and the energy of the crowd was positive and supportive of the athletes competing. I again credit the Pruter family for making everyone feel so welcome. Parents would walk right up to the rings take video sit quietly not interfere and then go back to the stands! No barriers no stopping the tournament to clear the floor, no stressed out holding area! I’m serious it was a joy too attend this event and we will be back with double the athletes next year!
Coach В Ricardo AguileraВ В MasterВ Kevin Pruter В It was a great tournament as always!
CoachВ Master Rings В В This was one of the best event’s i’ve been too. Quick and logical format – we were out before 5pm! Great event. i’ll post another one later but thanks mr. pruter. long drive for us but well worth it.
CoachВ Seth WilsonВ В I concur, this was a great event in the midwest and especially so for adult color belts and black belts. The use of all Daedo (headgear and hogu), IR Level referees and a big venue help to make this event run smoothly. See you next year!
CoachВ Josh Holmes В В I think it was probably the best ran event I have been to in years. The staging times were reasonable, and the matches ran smooth, and I didn’t see any coaches losing their minds in front of kids (which i know is mostly out of your control). The referees were also very consistent! The feedback I got from parents:
1. Their kid getting to meet 2 Olympians at a tournament in Kansas City was awesome.
2. Venue was easy to get in and around.
3. Great sportsmanship from parents and athletes.
Coach В Therese M. Guy В В В My students enjoyed it. No complaints from us, thanks for the experience.
