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.

For those of you who are trekking to the 2012 Tiger-Rock Martial Arts World Championship, it's important to have healthy snacks to-go rather than stopping and eating fast food or convenience store snacks.

It isn't every day you can look at a painting completed by a 10-year-old and be speechless, except in Hasitha Tatineni's case. She is a 2nd Degree Level 1 Junior Black Belt studying at Johnson's Taekwondo Academy in Cary, N.C., and was asked by Trainer Bryson Johnson if she would paint something for the school.

"My inspiration was the encouragement that Mr. Johnson gave me in order to work on the painting," she said. "If you hope for something you will never get it, but if you say you will then your dreams will come true," she added.
