Yesterday was a big day for the team as we stepped into competition with a squad of 12, taking on an incredible 16 sections across the event. From our youngest competitor at just 7 years old to our seasoned athletes of 50+ years, it was a true showcase of dedication, courage, and team spirit.
What made the day even more special was the mix of experience. For some, this was their very first time competing—stepping into the unknown, pushing past nerves, and rising to the challenge. For others, it was another chapter in their journey as veteran competitors, showing composure, skill, and leadership throughout.
The results speak for themselves:
- 🥇 5 First Places
- 🥈 2 Second Places
- 🥉 3 Third Places
But beyond the medals, what stood out most was the effort. Every single competitor gave it their all, representing the team with pride and determination. Whether it was a win, loss, or draw, each match was a lesson—an opportunity to grow, improve, and come back stronger.
That’s what it’s all about.
We take everything we’ve learned from this competition and build on it. The focus now shifts forward—towards October.
Let’s grow the team, bring in even more fighters, more kata performances and even some more ground fighting and see just how far we can go together.
Proud of every single one of you. The journey continues. 💪🥊
