Thanks dhodge, The hard kumite is over (we have done a lot of it). It's all about speed, technique & strategy now. Make sure the kata & kobudo is up to standards.

This is the fight for gold in the 45+ div. I'm on the right (shiro). I must confess that as an official I would not have given myself that last waza ari. You will see why www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki_nBkTsEuIlet me know what you think.

I enjoyed it Tom you were really thumping each other but in a nice way

Oh yeah! We were thumping , my ribs still hurt, but on that last waza-ari I had no zanshin. I tripped over his foot & I did not have that continued poise/readiness that you need to have zanshin. I hit him good but then I tripped over his foot & stumbled out of the ring. I would not have given the waza-ari. But I'm not gonna give it back either
