Nationals 2007
Winston-Salem, NC
6/25/07 - 6/30/07
The culmination of hard work and determination
finally paid off for some of the students of the North Port
Shotokan Karate club.
The Club had endless fund raisers and extra training to qualify
for the 2007 AAU National Championships held in Winsten-Salem
N.C. After 29 students qualified at the Regionals in Lakeland
bringing home 32 medals, the race was on to raise the money to
go. The club did hour long spar-a-thons, car washes and stood
out side stores for hours on end but it was all worth it in the
end.
The Club along with Sensei Paul Moon came home last week with an
impressive 44 medals. 16 gold, 12 silver and 16 bronze.
The Moon's again
received a trophy for being one of the top 20
clubs in the USA.
The tournament was
held over a week as there were over 2000 competitors from ages 5
to over 55. The top 4 Novice and above qualify for the AAU
Junior Olympic Games in Knoxville TN. 8 of our students
qualified.
