Amazing day. Right towards the end of candidate training, lands the Capital City Open Fall Tournament. And the kids killed it. Kiddos did forms and sparring and weapons, but also worked as a judge or a scorekeeper – while mom was a scorekeeper and dad was “security”.

When watching the videos, please know that if a competitor drops their weapons, they are not judged or doesn’t move on. Traditional weapons / forms are forms that the schools teach the students and the student presents for competition. Open weapons / forms are forms that are made up by the competitor.

Willem competed in black belt weapons, forms, and sparring. Received 4th in forms and sparring.

Lillian competed in black belt weapons, forms, and sparring. Received 1st in weapons (went to Grand Champion), 2nd in forms, 4th in sparring.
