| 2004 Copper Karate Classic | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wow! Copper Karate Classic was the best tournament I have ever been to. The motivation level was amazing. Grands was a blow out. Luke and I went head to head. Luke won and at the end of his kata, he took off his Gi! That got the crowd going. The Ricciardis did great both in sparring, weapons, and forms. Steven racked up once again, so did Carter. Melissa took home a couple of firsts and a second in fighting. Emily also won first in fighting. Mr. Jones was running this tournament, and he did a fantastic job. The energy the tournament had was unlike I have ever seen. Especially at Youth Grands. People were chanting, motivating, screaming, and everyone loved it. Great Job team and can't wait to see you guys at East Valley Classic on April 17th. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
