Wado Exl Competition – October 2008
Hi all,
Firstly, I would like to say a huge WELL DONE to everyone who entered the Wado Exl Comp last month. I would also like to thank the Coaches and Parents who came along and gave their support!!!
We had a very good day out, with many competitors coming away with a well deserved trophy (or two J).
The results were as follows:
Kata Results
Genna : Wado Exl Black Belt Cup - 1st Place (Gold)
Ladies Event 3rd Kyu & above - 2nd Place (Silver)
Mark : Mens Event - 1st Place (Gold)
Taylor : Boys Event - 2nd Place (Silver)
Ryan M, Ryan W and Brandon all entered Kata events and worked very hard but just came short of a medal. A job well done all round!!!
Kumite Results
Dale : Mens Fight Event - 1st Place (Gold)
Leigh : Mens Fight Event - 1st Place (Gold)
Mark : Mens Fight Event - 1st Place (Gold)
Senior Mens Team: Dale, Leigh & Mark - 2nd Place (Silver)
Ryan M also entered the Kumite and again worked very hard. When the bell went it was very close in points and Ryan missed out on 3rd place by a very small amount.
Again, a job well done!!!!
All of the competitors put out a very high standard of work and did Derby Karate Academy very proud. As always we continue to be a very hard act to follow.
Well done everyone and keep up the good work!!!!
Come back soon as we will have more photos when we have had our Christmas Social and a low down on how the night went.
