Hope this is in the right place, but anyhoo:

The GKR World Cup is being held at NSW State Sports Centre (homebush I think, will check that) this Saturday (29th) and Sunday (30th) coming.

On Saturday it starts at 9.00am and goes to when ever they finally decide to stop . I think sat is mainly the kyu grades all ages + junior opens.

On Sunday it starts about 10.00am and is team events (eep, team kumite ) and the open divisions.

Good Luck to all those people entering the World Cup on the weekend.

All the best!

This will be the third GKR World Cup.

Exciting and terrifying at the same time. :excited:

Re the team events - Mitten, you've at least only got team kumite... We stupidly entered team kata as well!!!!!

Scuse me? Whose the sacrificial lamb here missy? I'm the one who gets kicked out first!

But you do so well!!!!!!

You have the best win record of everyone on the team, including the BB!!!!

Nothing to worry about. Tourneys only show who's best in one particular place at one particular time.
You folks will be some of the best karateka there - so therefore, nothing to worry about!

Only cause the BB didnt want to go all out in one of her matches

Easy for you to say, when you're not there!!!!!!!!

Hey, you think I can afford to go over to Oz and get beaten to a pulp twice??
Im still nursing the bruises from last time!:)

Seriously folks, You'll do fine...

And please post a report on how the day went

Good Luck to all going.....

Yeah, good luck all! =O

Hope all the competitors and spectators have an absolutely fabulous time, and wish I could be there to cheer on the Canberra TT especially. Looking forward to the long and detailed report WITH PICS!!!

Was so frickin cool!!!!!!!! Perth did pretty good, someone placed in the open female (cant remember who or if it was junior or seniors or kata or kumite) championships. And some one from the UK did too, am sleepy and I just got home, will write more later, I promise.

GOYLE CAME THIRD IN HER DIVISION FOR KATA AND SKYE CAME THIRD IN HER DIVISION IN KUMITE!!!!!!!!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Was a very very very very very cool and exciting weekend!!!!!

Wow!! Congratulations Goyle - and you were putting yourself down!!

Zip zip and zip I got a score of 21.2 for my kata though, I keep stumbling in the cat stance!

Congratulations Goyle, we knew you would do ok.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CORRINE BURNS

for winning the gold medal in the colts division (16 - 20 years 3rd kyu +) for kata... AN awsome kata Corrine... well done.

Oh Corrine........ "I came all this way to do that?" (she says after performing a winning kata )


Also congrats to White Gum Valley's very own Stephen Howell for his silver and bronze medals in male colts 8th - 7th kyu.... WTG Stephen...

All in all Perth brought home about 16 medals
Congrats to the WA team...

I'm not sure how many medals the ACT team brought home, but should get some idea on sunday.
I'd be impressed if we also got 16.

Well done W.A. !!!
