Freshman Tournament (Taisho Muto )
I attended the US weight cateory last Junuary but I lost even the first match.
I strongly thought I want to win next time.
So I have trained very hard not only at the Tustin dojo but also at other dojos, and with my brother even at home
Finally I could win the 1st place at the Freshman tournament. I'm very happy.

Freshman Tournament (Tokio Shimamura)
I got 1st place in the
intermediate “Kata” division at the 13th
Freshman Tournament. It makes me happy
and proud of myself.
To win, I attended every
class I could. At dojo, I listened and watched
carefully what Sensei or Senpai taught. Also
I practiced at home. My mom watched me and
gave some comments, and sometimes, my big
brother showed me the details. Watching DVD of
other tournaments was very helpful for image
training.
At the competition, I paid attention so
that my punch or kick looked sharp. And, I tried
to perform just like fighting with my real opponent.
I keep practicing hard, and next time (or in the future)
I want to get 8.0 as score.
