All of the kids enjoy tournaments. This past tournament was in Somerset, Ky. The drive there isn't impressive, but the tournament was...
5 Team Kenpo competitors made the trip this past weekend. From top to bottom: Brianna, Daniel, Connor, Dakota and Jillian
Of course... there's at least one goof of picture before getting started!I often get really strange looks when I talk about "weapons" and Connor.
The form really can't be appreciated without seeing it...so, here's Connor's kama form.
While I'm always proud of Connor when he competes, I was especially thrilled for him when he placed for the first time EVER with this weapon form. He walked away with 2nd place.
Great Job, Connor!!!
This is Connor's new open hand form...he's still getting the hang of it, but he won 4th place with this week's performance.
Sparring seems to be a favorite with all of the kids. Here's Connor and his trademark sidekick.
It's always interesting when two of our team members fight one another. Connor and Dakota are very evenly matched, and it's anyone's guess as to how their fights will end up. This time, Connor was the victor, earning him 1st place in Sparring.
Here are Connor and Dakota sporting their trophies... not bad for a day's work, huh? In addition, the boys each received a 5 foot trophy for participating.
Connor is GREAT! He makes it look easy but I know lots of practice has gone into those moves.
