From Claremore to Thailand: Kale Shultz Takes His Skills Global Claremore High School junior Kale Shultz took his passion for martial arts to a new level this summer, making his international fighting debut in Phuket, Thailand. Representing not just himself, but the heart of a Zebra, Kale traveled overseas to train in traditional Thai martial arts and compete against seasoned fighters from around the world. His debut match was nothing short of impressive, earning a hard-fought victory over a veteran fighter from England. While in Thailand, Kale and his brother, Kai Shultz (CHS Class of '22), fully immersed themselves in the culture and discipline of martial arts. They trained in Muay Thai, Muay Boran, Krabi Krabong, and Muay Chaiya, gaining hands-on experience with some of the world’s most respected combat styles. His international debut proves that our Zebras can compete and succeed on any stage. Outside of training, the brothers explored the beauty of Thailand from riding elephants through the jungle and bamboo rafting down rivers, making the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
