The Gotham Classic International Martial Arts Tournament is over. CHKA's first hosted tournament in over a decade drew competitors and judges from around the tri-state area, and as far away as Chicago. Though the turnout was smaller than hoped for, for an unknown event it was a great start back into the circuit of annual Martial Arts events and participants and spectators alike had a great time in the beautiful Chelsea Piers space. You couldn't beat all the smiles as competitors picked up their competition trophies, and the Grand Championship events garnered more than $10,000 in prize money for the five category winners!
