This is a class event. If you are doing kata, and if you can, you should attend.

I agree that this is class event. I have competed in this event and even have come home with the grand champion trophy :big grin:

The level of judging has been very competent and I have always received helpful technical advice after the competition. I even been scolded by Fukuda Sensei herself as she gently slapped my hand for making a mistake. What a great life lesson and memory.
