The boys participated in the first Kung Fu Tournament that our studio has ever hosted. It was a small but nice event. There were kids (and adults) from two other studios competing as well. A competed in two events- empty hand (which is the actual Kung Fu forms) and weapons. For this tournament he competed using his Bo Staff.
Unfortunately for A, he had not been practicing his Bo Staff with his Gi (uniform) on and a couple of times the Bo staff got hung up on his uniform or belt, which cost him some points. But he looked great and since he is continuing to compete against kids that out rank him and who have been studying Kung Fu much longer- he has done very well.
X fought in a smaller division with (for the most part) kids of equal rank and skill (most of whom he knows and takes class with).
He is not old enough to compete in the weapons event so he competed in empty hand and sparring.
He earned second place medals in both empty hand and in sparring.
