California Shitoryu Karate takes 4 Gold, 2 Sliver and 1 Bronze...

Each year the Te-Kenjutsu Kai Karate-Do organization holds their annual karate competition in Los Angeles. On Sunday February 15 students of all ages, both adults and kids, competed in both kumite (fighting) and kata (forms). On

California Shitoryu Karate in Lake Elsinore sent a small team of 7 students to compete in the karate games, all whom were extremely competitive. The team members included Aaron, Alex & Catherine Wallin, Colby Matthews, Sierra Rupnow, Nick Smith and Siobhan Gee – all coached by their instructor, Sensei Jason Stanley, 4th degree black belt.

Most students with just a few months of training were all very competitive taking a total of 7 trophies and medals. The results were as follows...

Aaron Wallin - 1st place kata, 1st place kumite (adults 35 years+ intermediate division)

Sierra Rupnow - 1st place (kata event - girls 10 years beginners)

Alex Wallin - 1st place kata (kata event - boys 13 years beginners)

Catherine Wallin - 2nd place (kata event - girls 10 years beginners)

Siobhan Gee - 2nd place (kata event - girls 11 years intermediate)

Nick Smith - 3rd place (kata event - boys 11 years advanced)

California Shitoryu Karate moved to a new dojo in Lake Elsinore in January which is equipped with a full size competition floor.

"The new place is great", said instructor Jason Stanley.

"The full size competition arena gives our students the opportunity to simulate tournament conditions, so when they compete at the real thing, they're already used to it... and as you can see, the results speak for themselves."

California Shitoryu Karate is preparing a team to compete this year at the Kobe Osaka International World Cup, to be held in Greece from July 2-9. The event draws on average 1200+ competitors from over 40 countries.
