Lynn came out of a 10-year retirement for a warmup in preparation for our own Adrenaline Rush and did extremely well, moving into a higher weight category to face Marie-Eve Dicaire (who won Gold at the WKA World Championships in +65 Kg). Lynn did very well, holding her own, but lost.
Kevin did very well in his first tournament as a black belt (after having no competitors in last fall's in-house tournament), placing 3rd in kata and 2nd in weapons.
Selina, in a rush to finish her fight (to go to the little girls room), absolutely destroyed her opponent 10-0 - the speed and power of her backfist, reverse combo was reminiscent of Ben Stewart's.
The 2 Jordan's did very well, with Jordan F winning the triple crown (1st in everything) and Jordan D winning in kata and fighting and placing 2nd in weapons. The other Dixon's also did well - Matt placed 2nd in fighting, losing a close final and Jake placed 2nd in weapons.
Although I lost, I really enjoyed fighting against Jacques Deschuymer in the final. Although he's very good (he won Bronze in the +35 heavyweight division at the Worlds), he's also in his 40's and I felt I was competitive.
Thanks to Diane for videotaping. I will post photos, additional highlights, and update the results shortly. Please check the results below and email me with corrections or missing results at normancw@rogers.com
