Had my 2nd Karate tournament today. We did Single Kata, Group Kata and Sparring.

I was awarded a trophy as I got 3rd place in singular Kata, I was practicing Heian Yondan A LOT recently. We all met up at a student's house and followed my Sensei as he drove, I took 3 other guys with me. All in all a brilliant day we had today.

I never expected to do so well. My advice to anyone doing any tournament kata is to practice the hell out of it, what you can do which I do personally is train privately with my Sensei see if your Sensei does too.

"It's not the style that's important, it's the practitioner. No style is superior to the other if you practice and train hard, ANY style can be effective."

Cheers dudes. I know some people have nerves, my advice is don't worry! Bow to the Sensei in front, announce your kata and do your best, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, just carry on don't waste time going back and correcting yourself.

Enjoy yourself. The thing is to blank absolutely EVERYTHING out it is YOUR kata and YOUR time.
