SWAT Team

     The SWAT Team consists of students that are on their way to developing superior sparring skills. These are the students that will later become known as Technicians. There are no rank requirements to become a member of the SWAT team, however all of our SWAT team members must possess leadership ability and conduct themselves in the proper manner at all times . Their appearance must be indicative of their position as roll models for their peers. SWAT Team members represent the school in team sparring events on the local, state, national and international levels.
