Out of 18 kids in his Belt/Age group, Luke took 1st Place in Forms and 4th or 5th in Sparring (they went through it too quickly for me to hear exactly) and I wasn't paying much attention at that point as I was trying to get one of the other parents to stop yelling at the judges for Luke's sake. He got so obviously jobbed by one of the judges, it wasn't even funny. If M&M's was there, she'd still be yelling at them. |

I think I'll be able to share his portrait done at the tournament with his trophies. |

ZOOOOOM!

Way to go Luke!!! IMNSHO, forms are more important than sparring. Forms provide the foundation and skills essential for application. Sparring is an opportunity to apply what you've learned, but without that foundation, your technique is going to be sloppy. It's much easier to improve sparring skills than formwork. Nice trophies! |

Major congrats to Luke, really well done! But this shocked me; in my karate world that kind of behaviour is a no go. Kids were taught from day one not to behave like that, and one would expect parents to not make tools of themselves in front of the kids. |
