We had a great weekend at the 31st Annual Sacramento Karate Championships!

I heard from many parents that it was hot in the gym, and many of the competitors wanted to just go home. But you did me proud and stuck it out. This shows your commitment and determination to compete and win! Congratulations to all of you!

We had 29 students from our dojo attend this event and we came home with a total of 39 medals! 18 Gold, 6 Silver, and 15 Bronze. Way to go team!

Special shout out to Troy and Audrey for winning triple gold! Amazing!🤩

Also, shout out to Audrey and Demi for winning the Outstanding Athlete trophies! Crazy!!🏆

On Sunday, 5 of our novice students attended the Success for Tomorrow seminar. What a great opportunity to train with Georgie Kotaka, Gakuji Tozaki, John Limcaco, and Tony Mendonca. It was a 4 hour jam packed seminar that left them all in a pool of sweat. All your hard work has not gone unnoticed. 👊🏼🥋

This was the last tournament of the season for many of you. I glad we went out with a loud bang!
