Alex's second tournament

I hope all who visit enjoy this 4 minute video from Alexandra's second karate tournament. Sadly, during her kata the next ring had a very loud participant so we have to listen to that throughout her routine, but that's the way things are in the competitions. When she spars Alex wears a black uniform with a white face shield. Also, against all competitors she is on the right side as you're looking at the screen so you should be able to recognize her. Of course the video quality is limited over the net so if anyone would like to see this from a DVD please feel free to ask and I'll happily send one :) Thanks again to all for your well wishes and support!

Another Great Weekend

We just got back from another karate tournament. Alexandra made us proud one again. She worked hard and fought even harder bringing home a third place trophy (out of 10 competitors) for sparring. Sadly, out of 29 competitors in the forms competition she didn't place in the top 8, but she looked great regardless. What a great weekend!
