February Tournament Results

Karate Competition Heats Up!
Central Michigan Karate Tournament Results

February 10, 2007 — Members of Central Michigan Karate kicked off the 2007 Tournament Circuit with two events this month. The first was held in Cleveland Ohio on February 3rd and then Grand Rapids on February 10th. Karate Tournaments offer students various types of competition to choose from including: Fighting, Forms, Weapons and Breaking. When most people think of Karate they think of Fighting, however there are other types of competition. Forms competition is similar to Ice Skating or Gymnastics where students must follow a precise technical program and will be judged on their presentation, power, technique, timing and balance. Weapons competition adds another level of difficulty by challenging the martial artist to use traditional weapons in the program. The final form of competition is breaking of materials such as ice, boards or bricks. If you’ve never experienced a Martial Arts Tournament – don’t miss out on the action.

Tournament Results are as Follows:
Cleveland, OH ( Feb. 3rd ) - Douglas Resseguie (Harrison) – 1st Black Belt Fighting, 1st Black Belt Weapons & 4th Black Belt Forms. Angela Minier (Weidman) – Honorable Mention Red Belt Fighting & Red Belt Forms.
