When you are preparing to compete at the 2012 Tiger-Rock Martial Arts World Championships, don't forget to prepare for the 2012 Art Show as well! For the past 9 years, this Art Show has provided "an opportunity for martial artists to exhibit their art," said Al Hiroms, who has been involved with the Art Show since the beginning.

Cosette Pease recently made the cover of She Magazine, a popular magazine for women based out of Sioux Falls, SD. Pease, a 2nd Degree Level 4 Black Belt, is a student and trainer at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of Sioux Falls. In the featured article, Pease talks about her journey through Taekwondo and the benefits of participating in the sport.

Chelsea McMurtrie from Pflugerville, TX, was one of the many volunteers that helped raise over $175,000 for the Central Texas chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. To encourage contributions Chelsea volunteered to rappel 32 stories (or 372 feet!) down an Austin skyscraper.  Nothing shook McMurtrie's focus on the good that could be done with the funds she raised – not even her intense fear of heights or the fact she had never repelled before! She was in the top group of fundraisers, so over the edge she went.
