OSU!

On April 10^th 2010 the Edmonton Kyokushin Karate Club once again hosted the Alberta Open Kyokushin Karate championships.  This event is one of the longest running in western Canada, and also becoming one of the biggest and best.  This year the tournament added a kata division for the first time.  This helped push the number of competitors to 92, making up 130 entries in 20 divisions, making this year�fs tournament the biggest in the history of the event.  It was a great day of fighting and kata with both excellent spirit and technique displayed by some of the finest fighters and kata practitioners in our organization.  A great day was had by all, and most importantly there were no serious injuries.  We would like to thank all the competitors, officials, volunteers and supporters who came to the event, and look forward to seeing you all again next year.  Osu!
