Karateka Posted September 21, 2001 Posted September 21, 2001 On Saturday Sept. 21, 2001 the Karate BC Open Tournament is going on. I am entering into the Kata division and Kumite. It is all new rules so I am going to do Rohai and Bassai-dai for Kata. Kumite, well, I am going just to win. For more information, go to http://www.karatebc.org or if you just wanna check and see what it is about. "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)

Karateka Posted September 23, 2001 Author Posted September 23, 2001 Just got back from the tournament. Unfortunately I came away with just experience. Although most would say it was enough and I agree with them, I would have preferred a medal as well. Oh well, there is always next month.

kajugangsta Posted September 23, 2001 Posted September 23, 2001 Thats cool bra. Next time you'll be better prepared.
Karateka Posted September 23, 2001 Author Posted September 23, 2001 Actually, what happened was that this was supposed to be a non-contact tournament. Since it was an open, people who did full contact came in and started doing some crazy ****. What was worse was that no referees were calling it. All of us who played by the rules were pissed off because they were cheating and winning. I lost my match fair and square because we played clean, but my opponent nearly was put unconcious. Anyway, that is how it went. The next tournament for me is my Provincial Championships. Then there is the BC Games qualifications, then the Sato Cup and finally the BC Games. After that, who knows? Thanks to everyone who gave their support "Never hit a man while he's down; kick him, its easier"Sensei Ron Bagley (My Sensei)
