Dokan Karate Club

Dokan entered 13 students into this 5 day event held at Antribes France. (Unlucky 13) We finished 14th on the medal table which is respectable. I believe most of our students performed to the best of their abilities and no one can ask more than that.
Sometimes everything goes your way and this was not one of those times. In a few fighting bouts there were head kicks that simply went unnoticed and this could have altered our tally dramatically. We also had 4 x 4th place, 2 x 5th and a 6th in large individual kata sections.

Despite all this I enjoyed the event, I enjoy the company of my students and their parents and I enjoy visiting new places. Click on photos for captions. Plus if you are interested check my personal facebook out for touristy photos of Antibes, Monaco and Nice.
