\"Christer<\/a>On Saturday the 15th of November the Swedish Federation National Embu Taikai was held in Gothenburg, and in connection to this there was also a gasshuku<\/em> (training camp). There \u00a0weren’t quite as many participants as we had hoped for from Karlstad Shibu – Anders-sensei, who was one of the instructors at the training camp and chief judge at the competition, Alva, Christer, Filippa and Jay. Alva and Christer competed in\u00a0kumi embu<\/em> (pair embu) and in\u00a0tandoku embu<\/em> (single form) Alva, Christer and Filippa competed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because of the low number of participants there was no separate class for\u00a0ky\u016bkenshi<\/em>, making it difficult for Alva and Christer to remain competitive against a number of black belts. However, they still put on a good performance with a strong\u00a0embu<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the tandoku embu<\/em> category we had three participants from Karlstad Shibu. First up was Filippa who made a very strong performance.<\/p>\n

\"Filippa<\/a>

Filippa made a strong performance with her tandoku embu<\/em>, and she was also the youngest participant.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Alva<\/a>

Alva, with good focus and energy in her tandoku embu. Alva placed 3rd in strong competition with black belts.<\/p><\/div>\n

Alva had very good focus and energy which was enough to get her in the third place in the tandoku embu<\/em> category. Congratulations to Alva! We hope that we can get more participants for the next year’s taikai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
