RMA - Day 2 Fighting rounds at Worlds in Spain

It was day 2 of competition at the 2011 WKC World Karate Championships and for the 3 RMA athletes that meant fight day.

Sensei Tressa competed in the 16 to 17yr girls minus 60kg continuous fighting division, Sempai Samantha competed in the 8 to 12yr girls point fighting division and Jacob competed in the 13 to 15yr boys point fighting division.

The fighting divisions are tough at worlds. Many of the toughest fighters, who come to this world class event just to fight, are vying for their title and to be called champion winning gold in their division.

First up were Sempai Samantha and Jacob for the point fighting divisions.  Despite both of them putting a great effort into their first fight they lost to their opponent removing them from advancement in that division and to the medal round on Friday.


Next up was Sensei Tressa in the continuous fighting division. Sensei Tressa fought well in her division and has advanced to the gold medal round on Friday where she will be giving everything to win gold for Canada!  Good luck Sensei Tressa.

Tomorrow - fighting divisions continue.
