First Tournament of the Year tomorrow


aes

Recommended Posts

Well after taking about 3/4 of a year off of Tournaments, tomorrow I will be entering my first competition this year in Kata, Weapons and Kumite and boy am I nervous.

 

I have a goal of winning the overall Canadian WFMA over 35 catagory this year and have trained pretty hard for this competition.

 

In the long run I know my weapons and hand katas need to be more complex. My hand kata is Fukyugata Nidan but Pinan Godan will hopefully be ready for the next tourney.

 

Well better get some sleep, up at 7am to get ready.

The tournament was in Elora Ontario, a pretty small town but a good sized tourney.

 

Here are the results.

 

Gold in Kumite

 

Silver in Kata

 

Silver in Weapons

 

Both my daughter and I had a great time.

Congratulations! Getting that first in sparring (Kumite) is all that's really mattered to me these days.

That's awesome on your results, you must be really happy about that.

 

So there was a tournement in Elora eh? Hehe, it's such a small place!

 

What style of martial arts was the tournement?

Thanks people.

 

I started Kumite training just under a year ago. I entered a Tourney with pretty much no training around the same time and got defeated very easily. Sure it was different people, but this time around it was a different story.

 

Most of my sparring training has been done with much younger competitors. They have much faster reflexes than I do, however when I enter tournaments I wind up in the over 35 catagory. Is it possible that being used to faster moves has helped me get faster?

 

Well the next tourney that I know of is in Ohio in the end of July. That should give me time to learn a new Advanced Kata. The Ohio one is supposed to be much bigger than the one I was just in as well.

Well had a tourney before the July one. Did ok. Dang the guy I beat pretty easily last time seems to have gotten wise to my combos and beat me this time.

 

Gotta hit the heavy bag and work out some new moves.

Congradulations on winning that gold in kumite, and those silver medals aren't anything to ignore either. I hope you do well in your next tournament.
