I am sure she must be a great competitor.

Just wondering, who is allowed to try out for such an event? I have a female black belt who is one of the top rated competitors in Canada. She may have an interest.


Thanks,

Good question...I called her dad and he said one has to be invited to try out for the U.S. team and that is done thru the AAU and that Canada has thier own version of that (the AAU that is) and you should check in with them for further info...Good Luck!
