Budokan had 26 athletes contesting 30 competition divisions last weekend at the SIO as well as 6 athletes contesting 5 Kata divisions. It was great to be back in a competition venue and despite a few gliches, the competition ran well and everyone was happy to be back in competition mode.
- Overall club results were:
8 x Gold, 3 x Silver and 6 x Bronze medals, 4 x 5th places and 9 unplaced.This means 57% of divisions contested by Budokan athletes resulted in a medal and 70% of contested divisions resulted in a medal match.Kata divisions resulted in 3 x Gold, 1 x Silver and 1 x Bronze. Congratulations to all our athletes, in particular those contesting State Open level competition for the first time and those who medalled in or even won their first State Open. Performances from all our athletes were very encouraging.
