Grappling for College Savings
Top rated Youth Martial Arts Competitors can earn up to $2,000 per year with Grapplers Quest, "The World's Largest Grappling Tournament" and RATED: The Official World Grappling Ratings
(PRWEB) August 8, 2005 -- Leverage Performance (LeveRAGE.tv), Grapplers
Quest, and RATED have partnered together to offer the Top 3 RATED children
martial arts competitors with $2,000 in College Savings Bonds per season. RATED
is the Official Event Circuit for the Sport of Grappling.
"We are
committed to the development of America's youth. This sport in 7 years could pay
for an entire year of college for some of our youth competitors. It is a proven
fact that children who train in the martial arts do better at school, are better
disciplined, help fight obesity, and have a brighter outlook on life. Now, we've
given today's youth enrolled in the martial arts and wrestling programs
something else to strive for: College Savings," commented Grapplers Quest
president, Brian Cimins.
