OMEDETOU SELBY SKC!!!
Well done guys. It was fantastic to be there and support the 'troops'.
Even though I didn't compete, the opportunity of watching and filming the event was great - I learned quite a bit from being a spectator.
Our Karateka did us all proud.
The results speak for themselves - students who are a real credit to our dojo, and reflect the quality of teaching and the dedication of our instructors - a big hand to Sensei Ashley, Sensei Trevor, and Senpai Paul. I'm so glad to be a part of this club.
It brings a tear to the eye! (pauses to reach for handkerchief).
Another thing.... our etiquette and general standards... our 'Karate-ness' if you like - were absolutely spot-on.
A thought...
"Funakoshi was a man of Tao. He placed no emphasis on competitions, record breaking or championships. Instead, he emphasized self-perfection. He believed in the common decency and respect that one human being owed another. He was the master of masters."
I saw evidence of massive ego and unecessary aggression at the Tournament - and I must point out that non of our club members were involved - we approached our karate with discipline, humility, and an open mind - also with respect to ourselves and others. Qualities that seemed to be sadly lacking in some other competitors (and older karateka for that matter).
Although Funakoshi placed no emphasis on competitive karate, I believe we upheld the true spirit of karate on the day.
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE AGAIN
AND SEE YOU AT THE GRADING
OSU!

Congratulations to all karateka.
Very nice results!
Sam-san, good mawashi! That looks controlled with good extension.
Good form too, Sensei Paul. Though I don't miss the kiba-dachi. :-)
I can't wait to get back into competitions. Hopefully, I'll be able to make it in march. Fun times.
Good day,
Mathieu
