On Saturday, December 17 the annual Calgary Team tournament was held at the McKenzie Lake community centre. This year over 75 participants came together for the second dojo tournament of the year. Divisions were held with the double elimination format in place allowing participants and officials to gain experience in the ring. Like competitors, officials need to be continually practicing their skills in order to be proficient in the ring. These dojo tournaments are an excellent way to gain that experience to prepare our students for the future. Everyone did an exceptional job. Division winners were as follows.
Non Contact Lightweight - Denver Bidulka Non Contact Middleweight - Tristan Brandley Non Contact Heavyweight- Fancy Zhang Non Contact Adult - Karen Macleod Knockdown Lightweight - Rowan McNelly Knockdown Light Middleweight -Ryan Adib Knockdown Middleweight -Alyssa Bobye Knockdown Heavyweight - Hannah Popko Teen Knockdown - Kendall Smith Adult Knockdown - Eric Marr Kata - Hannah Popko Spirit - Mason Grimm Technical - Ryan Adib
As always, a great day of competition gave CKK members a rich experience that they will take with them for the future. Osu!
