TOURNAMENT ANNOUNCEMENT & COMMENTS ABOUT NOV 22, 2008 TOURNAMENT IN STEVESTON - nakashima.dojo@gmail.com

LAST TOURNAMENT FOR THE YEAR IS AT THE BURNABY JUDO CLUB'S TOURNAMENT IN METROTOWN, BURNABY ON DECEMBER 6,2008. SINCE THIS TOURNAMENT IS VERY CLOSE TO EVERYONE, I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PARTICIPATE.




CONGRATULATIONS TO THE MEMBERS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE STEVESON TOURNAMENT ON NOVEMBER 22.

NICK KRISTOFF TOOK THE SILVER .TIED FOR 2ND PLACE.

ANDREW RAGHU HAD 4 MATCHES IN THE ROUND ROBIN. I AM ENCOURAGED BY ANDREW'S PARTICIPATION AND WILLINGNESS TO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT. MAYBE NEXT TIME , ANDREW.

SHARLEEN TOOK SILVER IN THE MIXED BOYS & GIRLS HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION.

HITOSHI SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE GOLD IN HIS DIVISION BUT COULDN'T FINISH IT OFF, SO HE LOST BOTH OF HIS CLOSE MATCHES. MORE DILIGENT PRACTICE IS NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR THE BURNABY ONE.


KAMERON TOOK SILVER IN JUNIOR MEN HEAVYWEIGHT. BUT AGAINST TOUGHER COMPETITORS, KAMERON NEEDS TO ATTACK MORE AGRRESSIVELY. WEAK ATTACK WITHOUT KUZUSHI LEFT HIMSELF WIDE OPEN FOR HIS OPPONENT TO MOVE IN AND SCORE AN IPPON.
