armanox Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Hi everybody!After getting my body back in motion, my tournament itch needed scratching....So here's what we have!Entered the Awesome Internationals tournament, in Baltimore, MD. Results: First place in 18-34 Mens Underbelt Weapons and Kata, First place adult Underbelt Self Defense. We have videos and pics!As always, comments and criticisms are welcome. Very happy to be moving again (for those that don't know, I suffered a strained groin ligament and strained hamstring tendon last summer, and a staph infection in May).Playlist (Including a secondary angle on kata and weapons)http://www.youtube.com/playlist?feat...HzII2KLtY01SryParticular vids: Pics:http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c47/armanox/IMG_0314_zps7284d2f6.jpghttp://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c47/armanox/IMG_03132_zpsbacd6b3a.jpg "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky

sensei8 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Viewing your pics was quite refreshing...thank you for them!!It caused me to think about my very last tounament, which was just over 18 years ago. I garnished 3 Open Kata Grand Championships and a 2nd place in Kumite in the Senior Masters Division.I wish you much success!! **Proof is on the floor!!!

Prior to my latest stunt, it was early 2010 that I competed last. Something just feels wonderful about the thrill of competition.
