First match:
Second Match:
Good timing on the second gyaku-zuki although his heel came off the ground. His technique is getting very strong.

Tournament
Went to the tournament today. The S.K.I. team did very well and brought home nine medals. I did not place in kata, and was disqualified in kumite for knocking my opponent out with a mawashi-geri. I had never knocked a person out before, and honestly I was ashamed at myself for lack of control. However, it happened very naturally and it was an odd experience to say the least.

Tekki Shodan

Tekki Shodan, by Master Funakoshi - 1924
Notice how the kata has changed over the last 85+ years.
