The entire tournament was unorganized to such an extent that the events that i was meant to participate in on Sunday, were postponed till Tuesday, and then ran on until Wednesday. However, this is excusable considering the sheer number of people, with about 200 participants per age group.
I advanced to the semi-finals easily enough, unfortunately i was beaten in the first semi-final match to the competitor who went on to win the Tournament. I'm not too disheartened by this as i was not expecting to go very far in the tournament anyway, it being my first one, and also because the person i lost to was also All Island champion for the past 2 years. 4th Place out of more than 200 in my age group isn't too bad when i think of it that way.
In this activity, i Developed new skills as i learned a great deal about the strategy of tournament sparring, as well as Working Collaboratively with Others and as different disciplines of karate are separated into separate groups, and i assisted in the coaching of many of the younger children in preparation for this tournament.
