Four of my child students were called up as competitors at this place, and they were able to experience dozens of times Kata in the morning and Kumite in the afternoon.
I had the opportunity to improve my skills as a referee and to show for my son and my students as a competitor for the first time in four years.
My son said, “When I started to get tired after repeating the compete, I heard a loud voice, so when I looked back, Daddy was competing! When I thought Daddy was refereeing, Daddy was throwing the opponent! Why? I thought so♪ It was kind of funny and cheered me up♪”
I replied, “You and your juniors are competing without a break, so I just don’t want to waste time and opportunity♪”
