On March 31 2012, the Edmonton Kyokushin Karate Club once again hosted the Alberta Open Kyokushin Karate championships. This year’s event saw 85 competitors from Alberta and B.C make up 150 entries in kata, non-contact and knockdown fighting. We were also happy to Welcome Shihan Stuart Corrigal to the event. The event was a great success, with spectacular fights, beautiful kata, and trademark Kyokushin spirit, effort and sportsmanship. The final fight of the day featured an amazing finish, with Brent Williams of Edmonton winning an ippon victory in the open division through an ura ushiro mawashi geri.
The Edmonton Kyokushin Karate Club would like to thank all the competitors, spectators, officials and volunteers that made this event such a success. We hope to see you all again next year. OSU!
