Western Michigan Karate Championship!

Western Michigan Karate Championship!
Finding your inner self during competition

March 24, 2007 — Eighteen members of the Central Michigan Karate club attended the Western Michigan Karate Championship held at the Holland Civic Center in beautiful downtown Holland Michigan. The largest event of the 2007 Karate season to date, it offered a diverse field of competitors from Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio. Competitors learned from each other as a variety of different martial arts were displayed during this event. Learning from the “process of competition” is another way martial artists can improve their skills – under pressure you must learn to calm your mind and focus to succeed. Everyone gained valuable insights into other styles of martial arts and the day was a success for all that attended. A special thank you to Fabiano’s Karate & Fitness for Hosting the Event.
