Results From WMKC - Oct 20th

Once again Fabiano's Karate hosted a great martial arts that offered exciting competition for all ages and skill levels.  The event took place on October 20, 2012 at the Holland Civic Center located at 150 West 8th Street in Holland Michigan. 

I highly recommend this event to others!  (Great Job!)

Two members of the Central Michigan Karate Club were on hand to participate in the event Douglas Resseguie and Jaxon Sawyer. 

This was the first karate tournament for Jaxon who is presently a yellow belt in the Edmore Karate Class.  Jaxon entered the Forms competition and performed Geicho Hyung Il Bu a form created in 1947 by Grand Master Hwang Kee.  The division Jaxon competed in was by far the largest of the days event.  His scores showed that he performed very well and he earned a participation medal for his efforts.  Keep up the good work Jaxon!

Douglas Resseguie participated in Black Belt Forms Division and was the first competitor to take the floor.  He performed a form required for 3rd Degree Black Belt called Kong Son Kun which is approximately 300 years old and was originated in South China.  There was a very high level of competition between the other Black Belts and soon it was clear there was a 3 way tie.  The standard guidelines for advanced forms competition requires a different form in the event of a tie.  Douglas performed Bassai for his 2nd form, which also originated in South China.  Overall, Douglas placed 4th in the Black Belt Forms competition.

Douglas also participated in Senior Black Belt fighting to take 4th place after winning his first fight, losing his 2nd match to Brian Lentz (tournament grand champion) and losing a 3rd match which tied 5 to 5 forcing an extended time period "Sudden Death Match".  Overall each fight in the Black Belt Division offered high caliber fighters with lots of fast paced action.

In response to the many requests for t-shirts, sweat shirts and other items with the Central Michigan Karate Club Logo...

We have linked up with Cafe Press to allow On-Demand ordering of all kinds of neat products.  This offers a larger variety of items to choose from.  If any of the clubs want to get a better price, we can buy in bulk from local vendors, but we often struggle with up front costs and left-overs.  This option allows for gifts or single items without having to buy in bulk to get items made with our club logo.

More items will be added shortly.  Due to the size and resolution of the logo for each product, we will be setting more up as time permits.
