Karate Tournament

Hi everybody,
I was at the Iwata Cup karate tournament yesterday and had a great time!
Heres a video of me performing a kata that earned me a silver medal in my division.

I also have a short clip of me sparring.


I ended up doing well in Sparring too, I got another silver medal there.
Here are the medals:


I also earned a few injuries too. Nothing major Its just that when I move around and bend down I feel like an old man. I hurt my toe during a sparring match(You should see the other guy!!) and when i was warming up before the competition I strained a ligiment in my leg.

So anyway I have to go to school now but enjoy the clips.
-Shalom
