Team Ward brings home medals at the Colorado Springs Traditional Invitational Karate tournament.
Ward’s Family Karate in Colorado Springs was well represented at the 2010 Colorado Springs Traditional Invitational Karate tournament. Our competitors were Ben Jordan, Garrett Cichello, and Keri Myers. Ours students competed in Kata and Kumite (sparring).
There was great competition and this was one of he best run tournaments around. There were 114 competition registered for competition from three states.
That a big division
Congratulation the Garrett for winning Silver in the Kata competition, And congratulations to Keri for receiving Bronze in Kumite.
I heard that Keri was up against some really difficult competitors in Kunite. That is a really great way to get experience when you fight better more experienced fighters.
Garrett and Ben had their hand full in kata. They competed in a division of 14 competitors. I sure am glad I did not have to judge that division. Thanks Shaun and Bret for taking that one.
I had a great day of judging Kata and Kobudo (weapons kata) also mirroring (referring) for Kumite. Boy I was sweating as had as the fighters trying to keep up with them.
Chesk the video below if Keri performing kata Empi:

Dear Students,
Welcome to 2010. We have the opportunity to start off this new year with a great invitational tournament is January. We will make the week of the 18th at Ward’s Family Karate in Colorado Springs , competition week.
Competition Week at Ward's Family Karate
This means we will take a brake from our usual schedule of classes and all of our classes will be devoted to competition training. So pick out the empty hand kata or weapons kata that you would like to do. Tell me and I will make sure that we address that kata during competition week.
We will also have Sparring training. So be prepared to do some sparring this week. I would like all students to give this a try and if you like it by all means sign up for the sparring competition in the tournament.
This will be a great opportunity to put some polish on your katas or sparring. If you do not know a kata this a chance to learn one for the competition. If you do not know a weapons kata come to the Sushi No Ku Sho Seminar on Sunday the 17th. Sushi is the easiest of our bo katas to learn and perhaps the easiest of all of our weapons katas.
If you have never competed this is a great way to get prepared.
Sincerely,
Scott Ward, Sensei

Hi, We created a video of the professional photo shoot we did a few weeks ago here at Ward’s Family Karate in Colorado Springs, CO. I am not sure if they put in all of the shots that you saw in your proof sheets but the video looks great. I know the proof sheets were kind of small. If you have not ordered your pictures yet this will help you get a better look at them. Even if you have order your pictures you make see another one that you really want. Feel free to put in another order. I have some pull with the photographer.
So enjoy the video and let us now how you liked it by leaving a comment.

It was a cold snowy night but we had a great turn out. We opened the night with a pot luck dinner. Ow Yum, we had some good dishes. I especially like the corn casserole, and Chet’s special Chile. After dinner we handed out awards. We had a large number of academic awards for A’s B’s and improved grades. I am glad to see our students are doing so well in school and I am very pleased that the discipline learn in our Martial Arts classes in Colorado Springs is helping our students to achieve better grades.

Team Ward of Ward’s Family Karate in Colorado Springs, CO attended the Family Karate Association inter-club tournament on Saturday November 14th. Our team consisted of Keri, Garrett and Benjamin. Everyone competed in Kata, Kumite (sparring) and Stick Fighting. We captured Gold, Sivler, and Bronze medals.
Keri, Garrett and Ben bring home medals for Team Ward.
Every one had a great time and learned a lot. As usual our association tournaments are the best run tournaments any where you go. We started promptly at 9:00 AM and finished right at noon.
We will be attending an invitational tournament in January. To encourage more students to come out and compete, we will spend the week prior to the tournament working in kata and sparring.
I encourage all karate students to come out a play with us at our nxt tournament. Just as Keri, Garrett and Ben how much fun it is.
Sincerely,
Scott Ward, Sensei
