A week after earning 1st place in both individual kata & individual kumite (and 3rd in team kata) at a tournament on the west coast, Louise competed in the JKA Nationals in New Orleans, earning 3rd in kata and 2nd in kumite! (2nd from right in this photo)
Also earning medals in the west coast event were black belts Uta (2nd place individual kata, 3rd team kata) and Aireka (3rd place individual kata, 3rd team kata), as well as yellow belt Aashika. Our teenage girls continue to do great!
