From June 27–30, our team traveled to Orlando, Florida, to compete in the International Chinese Martial Arts Championships (ICMAC)—and we returned with more than just great memories. Our students brought home 14 medals and a Grand Champion Trophy! Their hard work, focus, and warrior spirit truly shined on the competition floor. We’re incredibly proud of every student who represented Phoenix Wellness Arts with strength, grace, and sportsmanship.
