The U.S.A. AAU Junior and Senior National Teams represented the United States at the 2007 International Dutch Open in Holland this past weekend March 24th and 25th. The AAU team was met with heavy resistance from the Referees and Judges as far as points scored but still managed a good show of force and brought home six medals out of the thirty who competed. Master Taylor Thornton of AGMA Avengers Elite, struggled through his matches with a severe injury to his Achilles Tendon but managed to win Bronze and Qualify for the Paris Invitational scheduled for November of this year. Good job "Punisher."
