Charlie competed in the local (state) karate tournament Saturday. Big surprise--he took home the third-place trophy in kata (forms). They don't give out beyond third place these days, but he placed fourth in jujitsu. He was eliminated in the first round on fighting, but this is still a very new part of martial arts for him--he just put on gloves for the first time last Wednesday.
He was quite happy to be going home with a trophy for his forms, so we went out to dinner to celebrate.
Now he starts getting ready for the Eastern Regional Karate Championships at the end of April. That will be competing against other martial artists all over the East Coast. Keep your fingers crossed and wish him luck!
