Karate Canada National Championships 2010

I judged and earned my KC Kata Judge B license at the nationals this year!

It was an exciting weekend at the Sheraton downtown Toronto - my first national tournament ever! And I got to officiate which was very exciting.

I am looking forward to a new sport karate season 2010/11. The nationals next year will take place in Gatineau, PQ!

I need to do these online tests more often. Although I passed with a national license this weekend, I can do better.

I entered the nationals with provincial Kata Judge A and Kumite Judge A licenses. Judge A is as high as one goes for kata but kumite is more complex. I need to earn Referee B then Referee A before I am eligible for a national license in kumite. Something to strive for!
