All participants from Karlstad shibu<\/p><\/div>\n

On the 7th of November we had the National Taikai. This year we had many younger participants from Karlstad Shibu, which was really nice to see. For next year we hope that a few more adults and teenagers also can participate. In total from Karlstad Shibu we were 16 kenshi who entered the competitions and one serving as judges. <\/p>\n

\"Before<\/a>

Before we started the trip, B&T bil (local car sales company) lended us one car including petrol.<\/p><\/div>\n

The branch paid for the trip for all kenshi that wanted to travel together and we also got some sponsoring from B&T bil<\/a> (local Honda dealer) that lended us one car including petrol, additionally Lindh\u00e9s konditori<\/a> (local bakery\/caf\u00e9) provided us with some sandwiches and sweet bread for the stop for “fika<\/a>” on the way to Stockholm. Many thanks to both B&T bil<\/a> and Lindh\u00e9s konditori<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The taikai was held in Stockholm and the organizer was Bromma shibu.<\/p>\n

Kumi Embu<\/h2>\n

There was a couple of categories for kumi embu<\/em> (pair embu), yudansha<\/em> (black belts) and kyukenshi<\/em> (below black) that has official recognition from the Swedish Sports Federation, then we also had category for oyako<\/em> (parent-child) and a category for juniors (up to 12 years old).<\/p>\n

In the class for kumi embu yudansha<\/em> (pair embu<\/em>, black belts) we had Perra & Richard that represented Karlstad. Unfortunately they made a small mistake that made them not reach all the way, they got a ytied 3rd place, only 1 point after the two pairs who got the tied first place. It was extremely hard and even in this category.<\/p>\n
