Thursday, the seniors and veterans competed.
Friday- The cadets (14-15) competed and Tiffiny Van Boom got third place!
Saturday- The Cadets kumite (fighting) and Juniors(16-17) competed. Tiffiny winning a bronze medal. Natalie Faint winning a Silver medal. Tasneem Cozyn winning a Gold medal- Nat and Taz were in the final together. Myself winning a silver(kumite) and gold(kata) medal.Douglas Graham winning gold medal. And Dean Lotter achieving gold.
The Western Province did amazingly! We got something like 13 golds and a whole lot of other medals!
Also, the fact that a got gold at these champs secures my place in the wkf junior and cadets world champs in Malaysia. Which is a flipping HUGE deal! Now this is so exciting and I really wana go! basically my delima is matric finals are a week after the tournament. So I will let you know what i decide!
Once some photies have found their way onto the Karate Western Province Website and Karate South Africa Website, I will post them up here.
Until then, Hereis a photo of the venue before it was full. Because Province always arrives fashionably early.
