After the Kanagawa Prefecture tournament of the Wado-Ryu Karate-Do Renmei held 5 days ago, the next event is the 2nd Four-Dojo exchange competition hosted by me at the end of this month.
In this competition, there will be four divisions: Kumite, Kata, tug-of-war and sumo division.
I hope children to know the joy of touching their own traditions and culture and interacting with each other.
The Kanagawa Prefecture tournament of the Wado-ryu Karatedo Federation was held on June 9. 16 students from my dojo participated. Their result is, ・Gold medal on over 40 years old Men’s Kumite division (without Black Belt) ・Gold medal on 12 years old Girl’s Kumite division ・Silver medal on over 40 years old Black Belt Women’s Kata division ・Silver medal on 8 years old Girl’s Kata division ・Bronze medal on 10 years old Girl’s Kata division ・Bronze medal on 9 years old Boy’s Kata division ・Bronze medal on 8 years old Boy’s Kata division ・Fighting spirit award on 13〜15 years old Boy’s Kata division ・Fighting spirit award on 12 years old Boy’s Kata division ・Fighting spirit award on 7 years old Boy’s Kata & Kumite division I’m proud of my students regardless of whether they won or not. Because they had aim, made an effort, and challenged.
The Kanagawa Prefecture tournament of Wado-ryu Karate-Do Renmei will be held in 7 days. My students participating in this tournament gathered and trained every Sunday early in the morning for a month. No one knows the outcome of the match, but I want to praise the children’s efforts.I believe they can do their best.
