This weekend we traveled to Bowling Green for the most recent karate tournament. Team Kenpo did really well overall. Here are some pictures of Connor at the tournament.
"Judges, my name is Connor Lejsek. I represent Team Kenpo. With your permission, may I begin?" Each time the kids compete, they begin with this introduction to the judges... wonder what one of them would do if the judge said no???
Here's Connor being scored after his weapon forms.... it sometimes scares me that we've turned our 10 year old loose with these "weapons". But doesn't he look sharp with his new "Patriotic" kamas?
This is Connor after his open hand form. He won 4th place for his form.
Here's Connor getting ready to spar (he's the kid on the right, in the black gear)... the competition was tough this week. So tough, that mom decided to take a ringside seat!
This kick scored another point for Connor...first one to 7 points wins. Of course at this point, mom's on pins and needles! Connor took fourth place in sparring at this tournament.
At the end of the day, you collect any trophies you might have earned. This is always exciting for the kids (and parents)!! Afterall, this is what you work so hard for!!
