Only junior category fights at this event, to be held at the Bridge USA Natsu Matsuri (Summer Festival). If you are in the area, please stop by, watch the action, and support the kids.

Sounds like a fun event for the juniors!

Hopefully there will be pics for those of us that can't be there to support!

Great event yesterday. We had a total of 50 fights and roughly 20 kata competitors. Our tournament was held in the midst of the Bridge USA natsu matsuri so there was plenty of people who walked in and watched. It was great exposure for local Kyokushin to the community and we hope that we will be able to draw new membership. Just to give you an idea of the festival, I was told there was a 1-hour wait in line to get in with paid admission. I would approximate at least 750 persons were in attendance throughout the day.

PS: I was the on the microphone playing announcer for the day.

Great job there for Kyokushin! And I'm sure the MC was very professional too!

Great turnout of participants, and an excellent venue for spectators...hopefully it will carry over into new members!

I did the MC in English and we had someone else come in to sing the national anthem. Personally, I only sing to karaoke music and not to strangers.

Haha Dent, that's only when the other people in the room are drunk with you.

Smooth - You should have sang the old school Ichigeki song

True, Kurisu. Some drink to get the courage to sing. I drink to have the courage to listen!
