Last week Club Deportivo Washinkai Karate, presented nearly 100 students with a gold medal to recognise their dedication to karate. Twelve additional students were selected to be presented with trophies recognising the important characteristics that are expected of a Washinkai Karate student including technique, exceptional effort, courtesy, respect, humility and responsibility.
The students, along with five of the Club Instructors, performed a demonstration of karate techniques.at the Javea Sports Centre, which began with the huge group carrying out Kihon - kicking and punching simultaneously.Gold medallists Taylor Brown, Christian Sweeney, Henriette Merle Bolufer, Lawrence Phillips, Nathan Tongue, Adam Sweeney and Tom Winstanley reprised their winning katas, whilst instructor Geovanny Sanchez was thrown around the Sports Centre mats by tiny 5 year old Mirella.
Several advanced defences were shown by Instructors Sarah Lakin and Nikki Sweeney including a spectacular flying scissor kick, dragontail sweep and a wheel throw.Instructor Ray Sweeney demonstrated several advanced knife defences and the display finished to resounding applause with all students smashing their way through pine boards.
