Now that our grading is over and we have relaxed for a few days, Mark and I are heavy into planning a tournament for our club. Tournaments are fun and exciting and for a lot of the students at our club, they will be a brand new experience. We both know that your first tournament is also very stressful. Not knowing what to expect can be very scary. I know that the first tournament I entered I had originally just planned on watching. One of my Senseis told me I should enter and I was very glad that I did.
This tournament will be a small one with only a couple of other clubs coming. It will be a good chance for everyone to try competing and to realize how much fun this part of their training can be. We will also have a few weeks to focus some classes at the club on the proper etiquette for tournaments. (In karate, there is always etiquette to be followed!)
There is still lots of preparation to do and more volunteers to find but we are focused on making this a great experience for everybody!
