THIS DOJO DOES

Yesterday at Great Grandmaster Aaron Banks "open"tournament our newest student
Karina Bigitschke stood before the Judges and proudly announced that she is LEGEND and Prepared to compete

The intensity and focus and determination was captured.

In the forms (Kata) contest she went against three women and a man who was an excellent Yellow Belt with many years under his belt.

He should not have been in a womans division or in the Novice Division.

If he was not there Karina would have taken FIRST Place. As it was she took second.

In the fighting, Karina went against some BIG women and stood toe to toe.

Once she "fired" she never stopped until the judges had to interfer.

Her punches were SOLID and definetly IN scoring her, after three fights, FIRST PLACE.

Karina NEVER Had a fight before and wanted to prove herself.
Well lady...YOU DID!

She has only been LEGEND for THREE MONTHS...Wait until 6 MONTHS =))

Karina and her supportive husband.

Her cheering section.

The hard work paid off.

See you at the next one!
