Karate Brothers

Jordan at Yakima 2007 Karate Championship (tournament)

March 16th, 2007

Jordan and others from his karate school (PMA) went up to Yakima for the 2007 Karate Championship. Jordan and the others did very well, as this was a more “traditional” style of tournament with most of the participants of the Shudokan Karate Style from the Yakima School of Karate or related school around the area.

Kyler supported his karate brother and cheered for Jordan but he decided not to participate in the tournament. Jordan was a little nervous, but he talked to a couple other boys that sat next to him as they waited their turn to perform in their age division 9-11 intermediate (one to two years karate training). As Jordan just turned 9 and was competing again 10 and 11 year olds, we decided not to push Jordan into the advanced group in the same age division.

Jordan placed “1st” in his division but it was very close with another girl that did very well, but he must have impressed the judges just a little bit more. Here is Jordan’s “Open Hands” form.

Jordan also performed in the “Entertainment Division” and Place “4th” among other Brown and Black belts of all ages. Entertainment is for a more non-traditional sport karate and allows the form/kata to be performed with music. Here is Jordan’s “Crazy Frog: Karate Form”.
