They haven’t been training long so I think they were a little nervous but they had fun and they did a great job,” said head instructor and school owner Sensei Michael Fisher. “I’m proud of them all. They represented Kushindokai with honour and integrity. While we don’t typically focus on tournament competition at our school, with the training our students go through and the expectations we set for them, they are usually well-equipped for competitions. We encourage students who want to try competing; it helps them build confidence which they can bring back into the dojo. We keep the focus on having fun and just giving their best effort.”
