Solomon Choran Returns from Europe

By Joshua Hagen

Solomon Choran of The Art of Balance Dojo recently returned from a couple of major competitions in Europe.  Competing in both Portugal and Bosnia Herzegovina, it was a great experience for Choran going 2 and 2 in Portugal.  Although he was hoping for a medal, this was a huge step in the development of such a young fighter.  Many athletes travel to European events a dozen times before even winning a match.  In 3 trips to Europe (Scotland, France and this recent trip) he has successfully won matches on every occasion, notably taking a bronze medal in Scotland.  Clearly on track to becoming a Sr. World Team member, this 18 year old is looking to take a couple medals at the upcoming national championships in May.
