 |
|
So this coming Sunday is the Alan Murdoch Cup and I shall be competing again this year.
Currently I am one of 3 people entered to compete but likely there will be a lot more that have entered via snail mail (the post if you don't know).
I'm pumped and looking forward to it. Especially since it is going to be the first tournament I am competing at that will use a shotokan kata (Jion).
It is funny because my sensei, one of my friends who teaches now more than he trains and a parent who is heavily involved with his two sons training for competitions all said that Jion is very well suited to me even though Shotokan isn't my style of choice.
Hopefully my fiance (Got engaged last november) will get plenty of photos of me competing. I will be putting them up on my business' facebook page if you want to check them out. As it is an easy format for me to share all my photos for people to check out.
- Patrick or admins can I share the link to the page or should i stick it down to my signature (Will remodify it to fit the guidelines)?
My kata this year are:
Seisan (Maybe)?
Seipai
Jion
Kururunfa
Suparenpei
Anan (If needed) |

I finished competing for the day. I got eliminated in the first round but still got bronze because of the lineup positioning. As either way i was going to receive a medal
I did Jion but made a few mistakes. But i knew what they were so i can work on it for next time. |

Congrats on the bronze!! Beyond the medal, you're richer by having gone through the experience, and that's priceless, imho!!
Next year, knowing what you now know, you'll do much better.

Thanks Sensei8
For me the medal was a bonus. The guy that I competed against (the national squad member) said that I had improved big time since last year (competed against him at the same tournament last year).
And he agreed with me when I do it only for the fun of it and the experience.
Although we were all frustrated like crazy because one of the competitors rocked up late even though he had just competed 10 minutes prior on a different tatami.
The officials were going to let him have the bye in the 1st round and let him go straight into the final. But us competitors protested prior to that occurring, either disqualify him or wait a few more minutes. He didn't apologize or anything when he did finally show up. |

If your wanting to check out some pics from the tournament click the link in my signature. Just have to get some off my partners phone as my camera ran out of power during my event (my bad lol!)
I am not overly tech savvy to upload to a media sharing site most of you use. But I have very Facebook savvy and thought it was easier to share that way |
