Mastering Moves at Martial Arts Expo

More than 100 athletes are showing off their moves at a martial arts expo in Sioux City. The White Tiger Martial Arts Academy hosted the 5th annual Midwest Invitational Championship.

The athletes competed in both controlled fighting and the artistic expression of tae kwon do. The organizers hoped the event would foster good will and innovation.

"One thing I like about martial arts competition is that it really builds character," said White Tiger Academy Owner Michael White. "If you can face a person on the mat, you can face them in the office, you can face them in a school environment. You don't feel intimidated by people."

Competitors came from all over the Midwest and Canada.
