Special Needs Adaptive Program Martial Arts Tournament

Hard work, a medal, and a room that was built for them.

SNAPMAT gives kids and adults living with special needs a tournament: effort, competition, rewards, and the noise of a gym that is on their side.

Three events: most punches in 45 seconds, most kicks in 45 seconds, and a timed obstacle course. A punch relay is there for competitors who cannot kick. Events can be adjusted, including for a student who uses a walker.

Saturday, April 26, 2025. Highland Park United Methodist Church, third floor of the Tolleson Center, 5817 Hillcrest Ave, Dallas, TX 75205. The event is free. Registration for that Saturday is closed.

Tony started SNAPMAT in 2019. His bio says it hosts four tournaments.
