Cadets and Juniors. Along with National Cadet Coach (and Head Club Junior Coach) Kerrye, Budokan Cadets Bianca Tandean, Max Zollinger, Crosby Peake and Aaron Xu recently participated in Cadet Asian Cup competitions in Hong Kong and Macau. This was a great opportunity for our competitive Cadets to perform on the international stage, in particular for Crosby and Aaron who participated internationally for the first time. A bit of bad luck with injury and illness preventing all matches to be played but nonetheless great lessons learned and a solid effort by our Cadets. So with a Gold, Silver , Bronze and 4 x 5th places, well done to our guys! Results follow:
