JUDGING WORKSHOP
Thursday May 29th at the Elmdale Community Center we had class With Mr. Pina's and Mr. Caldwell's students on judging. The under belt students worked on the proper etiquette on how to bow in and address the judges. The brown and black belts worked on judging empty hand, weapons and team kata for pee-wee, junior and adult students. This workshop was well attended with over fifteen brown and black belts pampty hand, weapons, team and musical kata. The adult brown and black belts will be learning and working on how to judge and score the students by age and rank. (You must know a complete kata in order to participate.) The next work shop is tentatively scheduled for August and we will be working on judging point sparring. A huge thanks goes out to Mr. Caldwell and his students who hosted this event.
