I know it's a bit late but thought I should add this one on.
Me and my students competed in our of our 2nd competition a couple of weeks ago in Reading, England. I didn't get any trophies but I did twist my knee in the 2nd round of kata and therefore lost the round. 4 hours later I had a go at hopping around in the kumite scoring just 2 points whilst my opponent scored 6. It wasn't all doom and gloom though, my girlfriend got 3rd place in the women's kata and kumite. She was the only one out of all of us who got some trophies that day so we're all very proud of her.
Next tournament is the BIKO Open on October 1st in Hertfordshire. Hope to get some trophies there this time!

Cheers Kirsty. We were up against a few England squad members so at least we lost to some good karateka.

That was similar to our last comp I told you about Richard. Believe me I know how frustrating a twisted knee is x Did you feel there was any favouritism going on?

Not really, the judging was very even from what I saw of it. The kumite judging was a little off though. Some really nice techniques controlled and well placed weren't being scored and the fighters were getting frustrated and ended up just smacking the hell out of each other just to get a point as that was all the judges seemed to give points for. A very well run and organised tournament overall IMO. I'll definitely be going to the next one.
The knee is okay now. Just have to be careful not to put too much strain on it until it's fully healed. I'll be back to 100% in a few weeks.
