Budokan had 27 athletes competing in 29 divisions in this event from MONS to Masters. Again, there were many good performances and many valuable lessons learned which can only be achieved through competition. Well done to the Cadets who competed in Senior Kyu Grades and those competing for the first time – if you didn’t get the result you were after, be patient, train hard, listen and learn, and keep competing – it will come together in time!
