Great job to all who competed this weekend, and thank you to everyone who came out to support!
Thank you also to our coaches for supporting and guiding our athletes.
In the end we walked away with:
Canada Open
7 Gold
6 Silver
6 Bronze
Canada Winter Games Selection
Helena Andres @lenaandres54 1st place (light weight)
Julian Hassan @julianhassann 1st place (middle weight)
Special congrats to Helena and Julian for qualifying for the CWG, where karate will be featured for the first time. Only 3 boys and 3 girls from BC will compete for kumite (light, middle, and heavy weight), so this is a big accomplishment, and a first for our dojo.
We have big goals for the year ahead, and much more work needs to be done, but for now we can relax a bit and enjoy some well-deserved rest!
