This is a kihon for kumite competiton that is a very hard technique that needs to be learned as a configuration of "switch kicks." Something that has to be practiced many times over.

Of course , the technique was done against a respecteded, talented., dojo with certain risks.

There was moment that I was given me pause to talk, not often, was a moment gave such pause. I was given a microphone and I turned to see my friends that had come to support me. I stood still for a moment.

In that moment, I saw my friends and the karate communitey. That was a moment I will never forget.

I will continue with not only the Spirit of Denver Karate Championship but my continued effort I started 42 years ago as a beginner 4-year-old karate student.

You can count on my support!

Let's create a new generation of officials, coaches, and teachers with our seniors leading the way and let us take some responsabilty so they can teach the correct path as we make our mistakes and grow from them.

Certinly, I saw the potential at the Spirit of Denver in this exact manifestaiton that remain prepatory for growth.

So much has inpired many this last weekend, and I thank everyone for inspiring me to continue in every way.
