Edmontom Uechi-ryu Tournament
This morning I had the chance to stop in at Dave Chow’s Invitational competition. Dave, who operates the Renshinkai School of Karate; was a gracious host and offered the spectators a well organized event, comfortable seating and refreshments (the chili dog’s were fantastic!). Present were dojo members representing Southern, Central, Western Alberta, as well as neighboring Saskatchewan.
Unfortunately another event kept me from staying to watch the adult forms and Kumite; however I left with a great impression of the youth competitors.
Smiles & enthusiasm seemed almost contagious among the close-knit group. It is was pleasure to attend!
