Karate Tournament

Last weekend I went to my first karate tournament with some of the people in my karate class. I was too chicken to compete without knowing how things worked, but these were the people from our school that did compete.

There were a ton of people there, you can't even see them all here.

One of the guys competing in forms:

The end of a sparring match, our guy on the left won. This is the only picture I got of the match because I had gotten up to go to the bathroom and by the time I got back it was over :(

Another sparring match, our guy is on the right this time. He won first place too!

Both people in this match were from our school so it was win/win no matter who won. For the record though, the guy on the right won.



The lady pictured competed but I video taped her forms/sparring for her so I didn't get any pictures.

All (but one) of our trophy winners. For our first trip I'd say we did pretty well.

There is another tournament in May, I will most likely be competing in it (that's what I have been told by my classmates anyway!)
