Bushido Open - Sylvan Lake, Alberta
Manatisowin's Members take home hardware!
The Bushido Open was held this past Saturday in Sylvan Lake....As the name implies it was a competition open to any competitor and any club that heard about it. In that light there were many styles represented and those who attended got an eyefull. This tournament gives a person interested in martial arts an opportunity to see a multitude of styles, traditional and none traditional, under one roof. The differences can be worlds appart starting from dojo etiquette to technique and skill levels.
Congratulations to Victoria Lee, Spencer Buehler and Sue Lindsay for their efforts at the Bushido Open. Victoria placed 5th in Kata but was eliminated in the Kumite. Spencer placed 4th in Kata and 3rd in Kumite! Sue placed 1st in Executive Black Belt Kata and Runner up in the Grand Championship Black Belt Kata.
Not to be left out, Senseis Elaine Radulski, Dave Martin and Brent Ward also attended the Bushido Open. They spent the day coaching our team and officiating the rings. Good job guys! We had some really good feedback from Competitors, Parents, Coaches and Tournament Organizers about your professionalizim and fairness in the rings.
Our Congratulations and Thanks to the Central Alberta Goju-Ryu Dojo for a very successful and well run tournament. See you again next year!
