Hey UTKC members,

Just wanted to let you know that the first Karate Ontario tournament
for this season is September 28th and it's at Humber College (2008-
2009).

The other tournament dates have been already announced and they are:

Grand Prix 2 - November 9th, 2008 Hamilton
Grand Prix 3 - January 25th, 2009 - Humber College
Grand Prix 4 - March 29th, 2009 - Humber College

There isn't any more information given at this time but will
definitely inform you once it comes out.

For those who are new to these tournaments, typically you will either
compete in the novice division (White to Orange), intermediate (Green
to Brown) and Black Belt(Different age to different weight
divisions). In addition, you will choose to either compete in kata
or in kumite (sparring) in your respective divisons.

The cost is usually around $25-40 dollars to compete and there are
specific requirements to compete in kata and kumite. Please feel
free to ask me, the executives or any of the senior belts for more
information.

If you are interested to compete or wanted more information, please
feel free to email me back or see me in class.

Regards,
Jimmy Yuk
