Great results at the Northern Open Classic!
Tobi Ishi Kai took a small squad to Warrington, Cheshire on Sunday 11th September. Having decided
on a tougher challenge for our Kata squad, moving from the small pond of Wado comps to the open
curcuit, our squad managed to secure Silver medals using open katas.
First up in a very busy category was Becky Pink, at just 9 years, Becky shows excellent potential.
Having only worked on Jion for the last week or so, Becky managed to take Silver after 5 rounds,
only just missing out on a gold.
Callum and Kyle were in the same category together, Kyle went through the first round with an excellent
Bassai but was very unlucky in the next round, having a tough draw. Callum made his way through the
rounds with Annan, suparimpei and taking home silver with a good performance of Gojushiho Sho.
Emily took a well deserved silver, knocking out National squad members with a cracking Kururunfa and
Suparimpei.
