This past Saturday we brought our development competition’s back to our regular annual schedule. This event was to promote and develop the skillset of our youngest competitors, in taking their first steps into a competitive martial arts environment. All those taking part were split into groups of similar grade and ability, to compete for medal placings against the other competitors in the divisions. This allowed for each person taking part the opportunity of more than one bout within small leagues, with all participants winning medals for their efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We were very encouraged to see so many of our youngest students standing on the mats and showcasing their skills in-front of not only their family members but also their peers. As with all competitions there is a wealth of experience on show, and again those who had a little more competitive experience showed great skill and sportsmanship to adapt their own bouts to that of their opponents, to continue encouraging them in a friendly and supportive environment. Very humbling to see from so many of our young students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulations to all who took part. A huge thank you to the black belts who umpired at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
