NSW STATE TITLES – 6TH APRIL (KATA), 7TH APRIL (SHIAI) - Results

14 STATE CHAMPIONS  Budokan was well represented with 29 athletes competing in 33 divisions, winning an amazing 14 Gold medals, 3 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.  Although entered, unfortunately Marwan Abdelfadi, Jaeda Liao, Berhnard Tandean and Lynne McCredden had no other competitors in their divisions so could not compete.  We had athletes playing out of their weight division, playing out of their age category and some who didn’t medal but won matches. Some athletes didn’t win a match but played very well showing good skills and determination against more experienced opponents. Great effort by all of these athletes.  Thanks also to all the terrific Budokan parents who acted as competition support volunteers for the day. Individual results follow:
