Sportsmanship Tournament

The kid’s tournament today was a great success!  There were (approximately) 40 competitors, spread among 3 age groups (5-7 year olds, 8-10 year olds and 11-13 year olds).  Each age group was then split into smaller divisions by rank, where students competed in forms and/or sparring.  Every student (who wanted to) got to spar at least twice, with many getting an opportunity to spar four or five times.

We finished in just under 2 hours, about 30 minutes over our goal.  Much more important than our ever increasing efficiency goals, every participant I talked to said they had fun and wanted to do it again.

How soon until the next Mo Duk Pai kid’s tournament?  We’ll see.  More photos here.
