Lambeth Karate Tournament.
19th October 2003
RSA Retains Trophy!
Once again Renshinkai Southern Academy, (RSA, in
conjunction with BIKO) hosted the 4th Lambeth Karate
Open Tournament on Sunday 19th October 2003, at the Brixton Recreation
Centre. This year the event had 200 competitors who competed in 30
different categories. Although the event started late, the general
view was that the tournament was a success. It was good to see quite
a few spectators at the event and the standard of the competitors
continue to improve each year.
A special congratulation must go out to all the competitors and coaches
for their efforts in supporting the event. Also a big thank you to
all the referees who were at hand to ensure that the tournament ran
smoothly.
There are areas that can be improved, to take the tournament to the
next level. It was noted that there was a lack of quality referees.
This in turn created ill feelings with some coaches.
RSA is committed to developing tournaments that are fair to all who
take part. The competing clubs came from Lambeth, Croydon, Ealing,
Midlands, Southampton, Hampshire, Watford, Middlesex, Essex, Chiswick,
Cambridge, Surrey, Kent, and Ipswich. The aim of the Tournament is
to continually develop the skills of both children and adults form
the grassroots level and giving them the opportunity to display their
skills to a large audience.
Present at this year’s event was the World Karate Champion Leon
Walters and Commonwealth Champion Natalie Williams. In the afternoon,
they both presented trophies to the finalist of certain categories.
There was a demonstration by Dave Heart 5th Dan Iaido, who displayed
traditional swordsmanship.
The RSA / LKOT Shield went to RSA for accumulating the most points
(223), followed by KenBuKan (79) and third Higashi (73). RSA was able
to amass a huge total by entering a large contingent of competitors.
Clubs were given 10 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place,
5 points for 3rd place and 1 point for entering the tournament.
Lambeth Council, Sport 4 Lambeth, and BIKO have contributed to the
success of the Tournament, by supporting this event. The next RSA
event will be the Lambeth Junior Karate Interclub Tournament, which
will be held early 2004 at the Brixton Recreation Centre.
The following is the results of the day.
