Enso Elite Karate Team makes strong showing at 2017 AAU Karate Nationals
The Enso Elite Karate Team participated in the 2017 AAU Karate National Championships which was held in Raleigh, NC June 29 – July 1, 2017.
Our team took home 47 medals (16 gold, 20 silver, 11 bronze), and many of our athletes landed in 4th or 5th place in huge, tough divisions. We are so proud of how hard our athletes worked all year to prepare themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally for this intense week.
