This past Weekend we had a Kempo Tournament that both Rachel and I competed in. I did pretty well I thought, I placed 1st in forms, and kempos, and 2nd in sparring. Then I picked up a trophy for side thrust kick board breaking as well. Rachel also did very well, getting 2 firsts and a second? She beat all the other girls at palm strike by breaking 3 boards! I fear her hands.....
Anyways, mom was there and managed to get some pictures... though they might be a little funny looking.... well lets find out!
This last one is of Carlos, he is a 4 year old that I teach his private lessons on Wednesday nights. He received 2 first place trophies and a 2nd place! He did awesome, and he was super excited and wanted to get a picture with me lol. By the way he is the cutest kid ever.
Unfortunately I was unable to get a video of my weapons form this year, due to technical difficulties with the camera (read: droid 2 phone) that we were using. But here is a video of me doing my form Pinan 5 tonight at academy. Which was the form I did and got 1st place at the tournament.

link to someone who videoed all the black belt part of the competition if you are all interested/curious.
