Team Cheng
Current Staff and Team Members
Team Cheng consists of a group of students interested in competi ng in tournaments and dedicated enough to practice extra hours on the weekends. Although any student can compete in tournaments, these students travel as a group to New Jersey, Pittsburgh, and for the first time this past year to Orlando, Florida.
Benefits of Being a Team Member:
- Tournament Discounts - The team holds fundraisers, selling cookie dough, pizza kits, candles, and raffle tickets, to raise money to help pay for tournament costs, uniforms, equipment, snacks and other costs.
- Extra Practice - Team members receive extra practice on Friday nights and some Saturday afternoons. These practices focus on the individual member's needs and strengths.
- Friends - The extra practices and day-long tournament trips enable the members of Team Cheng and their families to bond, becoming a great group of friends.
- Sportsmanship - Success is a mountain that through practice each member is climbing. Being The Best means you have reached the top of the mountain and the only place to go is downhill. No one on the team is the best, and we make sure the members know this.
- Recognition - Recognition within the class is swell, but having the chance to become a recognized competitor when you step into a tournament is even better. Team members are given the opportunity to give themselves a name.
- Leadership - Many of our team members become Junior Leaders, Assistant Instructors, and even Instructors.
- Exposure to Various Martial Arts - Team members are encouraged to attend more tournaments than their classmates. Attending large amounts of tournaments gives members the chance to see other styles of martial arts.
-
Demonstrations - The school performs demonstrations at community events, which the Team does the majority of the performance.
