Lots of Tekki people went up to the Kyu Grades Championships on Sunday, where we all did marvellously well to endure the very early morning, looong drive, and very hot sports hall...and some of us even managed to fit in some karate.
Everyone did brilliantly, lots competing for the very first time; Rob and Wes were particularly brave to enter the freestyle kumite category (where *someone* got disqualified..tut tut!)
Megan Lloyd was the only Tekki member to get through to the finals, after fighting through loads of rounds of ippon kumite, even beating a fellow Tekki Welsh Champion! She put on a great performance to win 2nd place, and got a cool trophy! Yay Meg!!!
Other special mentions go to Michael Fitzpatrick and Meleri from the Aberystwyth club, who got joint third for ippon kumite; and to Jess Palmer who was nominated for the annual "best etiquette" award.
All in all it was a very long and tiring day, and well done to everyone for going and taking part. Photos will be up as soon! Promise!
