Highlight for the year was the vast improvement in our Junior Team. Many had started with less than a year's experience, some starting in September. Participating in these tournament greatly improved their technical skills and fighting skills. Logan and Loren started in September and by the time March had rolled in, they were placing first and second. We had 4 members participate in the B.C. Trials in March. Their experience will certainly carry them forward and prepare them for the upcoming season.
For the Senior Team, we didn't get many of our members participate in very many tournaments which was a big disappointment because we have a number of Brown Belts going for their Black Belts . Djuro and Cameron Hong Tai were consistent in entering 4 and 6 tournaments respectively.
Dante St Pierre has been working out at the Dojo this past year. With the heavy workload in his second year in the Engineering Faculty at UBC, his tournament participation was limited. He won the B.C. Trials in Abbotsford and placed second at the Richmond Oval. He scored Ippon in all of the matches that he won. Practicing at the Dojo has certainly improved both Djuro and Alan's fighting skills.
Lastly, the highlight of the year has to be the Nanaimo tournament where we missed the 6:30AM boat because of the fierce storm the previous night which cancelled 2 sailings . Despite the misadventure, we managed to come home with a bunch of Metals and enjoyed the company of our members and parents.
