Dojo Tournament

Sensei Yong Hultin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:08:24 +0000

I would like to thank all the black belts, brown belts and parent that supported our dojo tournament and helped with its successful operation.

Our non profit corporation known as the United Karate Federation of California that sponsored the dojo event was able to raise $2000 to support our Elite Team of athletes and officials when they participate in authorized karate tournaments.

Thank you parents for your support by bringing the children to the dojo for classes and the special events we participate in throughout the year.

Our next dojo event is the St Patrick’s Day Parade and dojo pizza party.

Below are two links to the dojo tournament pictures taken by Dave Louie. Please download and copy any or all the photos. We will have some on our website.

We know it was a great learning experience for many of our children. We are proud of all the competitors doing their best in kata, sparring. weapons and team kata events.

Thanks again for a great job Dave!!

We had a great turnout of volunteers, officials and scorekeepers.

Thank you for your professionalism and dedication. The kids and parents were glad you were there.

Our officials and volunteers are especially grateful for the delicious lunch prepared by our Elite Team Moms. It was truly an international smorgasbord.
