Karate Club Inter-Club Tourney / Fundraiser

I did it!  I organized and executed a super fun one day Inter-Club tourney with the proceeds going to the Team Canada kids.  With the tremendous help from Ken and some savvy bakers we had a very successful day.  We had 35 participants and everyone got to compete in one or two events.  We had 5 judges for fighting and 3 for kata.  The families hung out together, the kids competed and played and we ate.  It was the perfect event AND we raised $601.00 for our kids.  Here is a glimpse of the day:

Family Synchro Kata division.  Even Chantal (8 months pregnant) put her gi on to compete with her kids!

Sid took gold in her division for kata.  She competed with soft form and did it better than we've ever seen her preform it.  A lot of people were complimenting her and saying "Now we really see why she is on Team Canada!"

Fighting she had to fight boys in her division and took gold,  Her fighting was amazing and combined so many things she has been training hard on these past few weeks.

Three of the kids in her division.
