Hey UTKC members,

 

Just wanted to inform you guys about the next Toronto tournament coming up and it is called the IWATA CUP hosted by KARATE-DO SHITO-KAI CANADA.  It will be on April the 26^th and will be at Etobicoke Olympium, 590 Rathburn Road.  The tournament will be $40 dollars and spectators can come to watch for $5 dollars.  

 

The tournament will have the same divisions as Karate Ontario with Novice (White-Orange), Intermediate (Green-Brown) and Black.  However, there are differences in the rules for kata and kumite.

 

For kata, top four competitors have to perform a 2^nd kata in all divisions and for kumite, it will 2 minutes stop time and not run time (which just basically means the sparring matches are longer). 

 

I will be sending out the applications out by next Wednesday so please let me know if you are interested in going.

Thank you everyone and please let me or Adam know if you require additional clarification.

 

Train hard! J

Cheers,

Jimmy
