Tournament Results

Barb & Les Street represented Golden Tiger Karate at Master Blum's "Battle In The Valley" Tournament held at the Best Western Conference Center in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., on Saturday, May 5, 2007. This was the fifth year that GTK participated. 
 
Barb performed  in kata, self-defense, and weapons. Her weapon of choice was the tonfas and kata was bassai.  She demonstrated a new self defense routine using a purse and Les.  After throwing Les to the floor and on her foot, she was awarded 2nd place in self defense black belts.  Everyone enjoyed the humor and skill displayed commenting favorably throughout the day. 
 
Les is still recuperating from shoulder surgery but helped out with judging and uking for Barb.  They said it was an enjoyable day smiling all the time relaying the stories.  Barb got good advice from another female black belt on tonfas -- which is what the karate community is about -- helping one another. 
 
The results are posted below.
