The Axsom Martial Arts dojo team took a smaller group than usual to the 2020 AAU NC State Championships in Greensboro two weekends ago. However, as usual, the martial artists collected a fair share of the championships, with nine of the 11 competitors winning at least one state championship. In fact, each athlete placed in the top three in one or more divisions.
