Hey All,

Again since a long time. But this time lots of happiness to share with you who regularly view my blog. This happiness because of victory in All India Karate Do Federation (AIKF) Tournament. Its always a dream of all indian karatekas to win medal in AIKF Tournament because its very prestigious tournament in india. This time 5 players of my team particiapted in this championship and 4 players won medals in it and not only won but most happiest moment that one player named kushal shah got gold medal in kumite event. He not only won gold medal but also won silver medal in team kata and bronze medal in individual kata event in 14-15 Years age category. In 16-17 Years age, Mansi Chavda won bronze medal in kumite event while 18+ years age category, Kinnari Joshi won silver medal in kumite event and Kunal Joshi won bronze medal in Team Kata Event.

     Its not only won medals but this time almost 1000 participants participated in this championship from 26 teams of various states including Police Team and CRPF Team. In each bout there were almost 30-40 players who are excellant of their own states. So, the level of tournament was tough and attractive by genuine karate players. KATA performed by all players, it seemed like the high level of karte .i.e WKF. Mostly all KUMITE fought heart biting and exciting.

     That's the reason to be happy because in this tough tournament to win any medal is big achievement itself. Gujarat team is made by 45 players of different age category and won 35 medals. This is the biggest achievement for gujarat in any AIKF Tournament before.

     The tournament held at Hotel Jaipur Green, 5 Star hotel with huge space to play. Amazing views and all good facilites. I am very much thankful to our Sensei, Sensei Lal Darda who taught us real karate and because of this our team perforemed like karate knight in this AIKF.
