Competition got off to an exciting start on Friday night, which featured seven different events: Weapons, Team Kata, Team Sparring, Chanbara, Musical Kata, Koshiki, and Chanbara. Quite a number of these are events that we don't train for and thus we weren't competing in them.
I was proud of our team. We faced some tough competition in our events, but deserve to be pleased with how well each one of us did.
The results:
Team Kata - Our team, "California Keichu", consisting of Matthew Miller, Miriam and Benjamin Prewett, took 1st place!
Team Sparring - Daniel was on a team with two students from other dojos. They took 1st place!
Weapons - Benjamin, Matthew, and Michael Hickman competed against each other in a really tough advanced division. Benjamin took a well-deserved 2nd place. Miriam and Sensei both took 3rd places in their divisions, as did Sarah Hickman.
Chanbara - Sarah Hickman was the only one of us who placed in this event. She took 1st place in a tiny division.
