Greetings from Brazil :)
After battling technology again I have finally been able to update the blog. Here are the results from the tournament
Izzy: Fought Brazil in her first match. After a great start she fell behind and ended up losing 1-2. It was a great first international tournament for her and after winning the National Championships this year we can say she had an excellent season.
Matt Ly: Fought Mexico first round, after getting ahead 3-0 Matt received a head kick that tied the match. In the last 5 seconds Mexico scored and Matt lost 3-4. Matt was well prepared and we are happy with his progress.
Derek Chan: Derek had an amazing run defeating Venezuala and Brazil but losing a close decision in overtime against Mexico. Derek beat USA to WIN THE BRONZE MEDAL!
Jusleen Virk: Jusleen won some great matches against Mexico and Venezuala to reach the final. Unfortunately she lost to the other Venezualan fighter and ended with a SILVER MEDAL! She also won all her matches in team kumite to earn another BRONZE MEDAL in team kumite.
Reid Lofstrom: Reid had an excellent match against Venezuala before losing a close match to Domincan Republic. She did not get a chance for repecharge.
I will update the blog later with more stories from the tournament. See you when we come back!
