July 13, 201412 yr A dozen of our competitors qualified to compete at the USA Karate (WKF) National Championships in Reno, NV, and today was the last day of competition. The last day is Kumite Day, and our youngest competitor, 5 year old Kaylee, took the Gold in this match. It was a tough, back-and-fourth match, but she stuck to her game plan (kick them in the head) and pulled out the win. We're very proud of her!

July 13, 201412 yr Cool Nice to see the next gen take an interest in the MA 28+ years of training - and knowing the more I learn, the less I actually know...
July 14, 201412 yr Wicked kicks for a 5 yr old. Congrats to the young lady. Interesting that you start at National level so young. I came over the the USOpen with the Aust team both this year and in 2012 and it was noticeable how seasoned your competitors were by the 11/12 Mark. We don't start at National level until 9.
