On Sunday, March 19, 2017 Tigers Shotokan Karate entered a team in the "Karate-Do Federation 4th Open Championship" in Barking, London. This was a significant event; arranged by the English Karate Federation, and was much bigger than many of us had envisaged.
My son, Karl, was a member of the team that travelled to the event from Hertfordshire. I'm guessing, but there must have been at least 400 karateka competing in the championship and the standard was exceptionally high. I am very proud to report that Karl won a Bronze Medal in the category "Kata - Boys: 3rd-2nd Kyu / Age 9 to 12 Years". His elected kata was "Bassai Dai" and he did a sterling job against strong competition.
Unfortunately Karl did not win a medal in the "Kumite" (or freestyle fighting) category, but his tenacity and "Courage, Courtesy and Compassion" in combat made me very proud. He is a credit to St. Columba's College.
Karl was the only participant from St. Albans to come home with a medal, and this is a notable achievement.

Remain happy, come whatever may; stay tension free and
worriless. Do not think of any thing else; just remain engrossed in your true self.
Curling up, I close my eyes
Praying for the sleep to come
To save me from the stinging pain
The darkness descends
To wipe away my tears
To shield me from myself
