Hey UTKC members,

 

Just wanted to report to you guys from the Karate Ontario Tournament (Grand Prix #4) today and the tournament was extremely long due to many delays.  I just want to first say thank you to Martin for taking the time to help out with the scoring and time keeping.  In addition, many thanks to everyone else who competed that helped out throughout the competition and stayed till the end.

 

Today, four fellow members (Josephine, Manki, Adam and Jimmy) competed today against a tough competition but in the end, we all excelled really well.

 

The results for today's matches are:

 

Men's Intermediate Kata (8 competitors)

Gold-Jimmy Yuk

Bronze-Adam Bak

 

Men's Intermediate Kumite (8 competitors)

Silver-Adam Bak

Bronze-Jimmy Yuk

 

Woman's Intermediate Kata (6 competitors)

Silver-Manki Ho

 

Woman's Black Belt Team Kata

Gold-Josephine Chen

 

Overall, a great result for UTKC today and can't wait to train hard and do better in the next tournament.

 

This concludes the Karate Ontario tournaments for this semester but there are other tournaments throughout the summer and the next one is hosted by Shito-Kai and is called the Iwata Cup (April 26^th).  It will be 40 dollars to compete.

Train hard!
