10th Annual Sensei Jim Grafe Memorial Karate Tournament Results

On Saturday, June 16th, a few of us traveled to the other side of the county. We went to Hilton High School where Russ Davenport and Liam Anderson competed. Sensei Chris helped with officiating and coaching. Sempai Chuck assisted with getting our competitors ready and making sure they were in the correct divisions. Sempai Taylor was there to be our official photographer and videographer.

This was Russ's first tournament and he brought home a second place in Clicker Fighting and a third place in Semi Contact. This was Liam's second competition and he placed second in Semi Contact fighting, which included a knockout of his first round opponent. Both young meng represented Golden Eagle Martial Arts at the highest levels. Both plan to continue competing including the American International Karate Championships in November.
