Gold!

20 June 2006 by kristarella

I’ve been waiting until I could accompany this post with a very unflattering picture to say: I got a gold medal at the karate tournament on Sunday! I got it for kata, I did Saifa, which is my grade kata. I came fourth in kumite (sparring). It was exciting to watch others do their stuff and I got some good pics that I’ll be posting on my photo blog soon.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).
