The OKCD Tournament Team strikes again… All the students did great at the tournament! 

The competition was very strong in all age groups, and our Karateka competed against others who train year round for competition.  All of our competitors displayed great sportsmanship, strong spirit, and excellent technique.  We are extremely proud to have them representing the Okinawan Karate Club.  A very special thank you goes to Senseis Lia, AC, and Wayne for all their work in coordinating and preparing the competitors.
