Cedar Ridge Shotokan Karate Team

The Karate Team is final pending the approval from the parents. I don't have all their pen names yet, but we have three girls and four boys on level 700 training to compete in our first WKF tournament in Salt Lake City on Saturday, November 21. We spent yesterday and today working on the kata they will perform in the competition. I have been using a video recorder to film them so that they can see how they are doing and focus on the things they need to improve for competition.

This will be the beginning of us learning how to navigate the World Karate Federation rules. All I know so far is that they require a lot more protective gear. You can look up the rules by entering a search for WKF. It's a big karate world out there and I'm excited that we will be a part of it!
