Saturday 8 December saw the Menai dojo taken over by enthusiastic karateka embracing the opportunity to test their skills in kata, kumite and gladiator.
Well done everyone – our biggest annual tournament for a while with a record number of junior competitors. And 25% female, also very impressive (and have a look at the results of the junior kata which were all mixed gender divisions).
A huge thank you to the large number of volunteers who operated the tables and took many photos. Without you, a few people would have had lengthy stints and the day would not have run so smoothly. Thank you.
Congratulations to the medal winners, and to all who didn’t win medals – hey, only one person can win each division. It’s doing the best you can, or finding out what you’ll need to do to be able to produce your best, that really matters.
Many photos will be posted on our facebook page, enjoy.
