Report of the Tournament
written by Edwin Sabugo and Jimmy Carrasco

We would like to congratulate Sensei Dominic Ohan, Sensei George Ohan, and Shihan Claude Bouchard, for their 5th successful Mas Oyama's Gold Cup Tournament. This was our first time participating in a tournament and we would like to share our personal experiences of this event. The location was comfortable, the organizers and staff were friendly and helpful. The public showed great respect to the competitors, which we personally enjoyed since there were only two of us competing from our Dojo and we had no fans.

The entrance of the competitors (open ceremony) was spectacular with the colored lights, smoke, etc, but the smoke made the competitors uncomfortable, giving us dry throats and making it difficult to breath. This was a common complain among the competitors. Overall the presentation was excellent.

We would like to give my complements to the competitors, we all fought with a good spirit, and we give our appreciation to the referees, organizers and medical staff, who were all very helpful. This experience will last us a lifetime. We have learned so much about our capabilities and further more, about our weaknesses. We view our training differently now as we know better what to expect for future tournaments. We would also like to thank our Sensei Angel Carrasco, for his teaching and giving us the opportunity to participate in this event. OSU!
