MojuKai members: I'll be reaching out to several of you in regards to participating in the Gulf Shores event.
We have several beginner-level students who have the potential to be fantastic at competition.
Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday (and Friday evening) and either participated in, judged, kept scores, or otherwise helped us make the Sylacauga tournament a success.
We had plenty of adult black belts to be judges, so every ring was in use. Because of this we were able to run a full tournament and be out of the building before 2:00.
We announced yesterday that we (the wife and I) will take sole ownership of the tournament series in 2027. This season will finish with the same rules and processes in place so there's no interference with the accumulation of points. ~ I do firmly believe that in order to have a legitimate championship the rules have to be consistent. I also believe that competitors should have to compete against each other in order to earn a championship.
We will be looking for input about potential changes for next year. One of the things we're considering is adding divisions. Some options are: breaking, self-defense, CMX or musical, continuous sparring, and semi-knockdown.
We can't add all of them or else it would take all day to run an event. But, if there's enough interest, we can add the most popular one or two.
So, if you'd like to see a particular divison added, let us know on this page.
The next, and final tournament of the inaugural season, will be in Gulf Shores at the Middle School on October 3rd.
We hope to see you there.
