What a long, but great day! We left early this morning for the karate finale tournament in Mass. Our team took 1st place in team fighting and then we waited for Noah's division to do kata (forms). There were 7 kids and Noah took second!
We ate some lunch and then waited for his division to spar. There were 9 kids in his group sparring. 7 got a bye for the first round so only 2 kids had to battle to take the 8th spot. Noah was randomly selected to be one of those 2....and he won! So he continued on to the next round and won again. Round #3 he went against his buddy Jack and won...so he had one more round to get either first or second. You guessed it...he WON and took 1st place!
Couldn't be more proud of him!! So this completes his first full year of competition. We have the kick-off tournament and banquet Jan 21st where I'm pretty sure he will be awarded with 1st place overall for his division in both forms & sparring....stay tuned :)
LONG and VERY personal
