My sons and I competed at the Lone Star Open this weekend (it's a AAA NASKA tournament). I am SUCH a proud mama right now!
Both boys entered the 1st time breakers' division, and both got first place. Then my 8 year old got first in his sparring division, and my 10 year old got 2nd in his! I was only able to see their last 2 fights (I was competing in another ring), but I was thrilled at how well they did--their focus, their techniques, their stamina--but, most of all, their sportsmanship. Both of them made a special effort to find their competitors after their divisions finished and tell them "Good match!" I'm glowing just thinking about it.
Oh, and I did okay, too. 1st place in all 5 of my divisions. Yay!
