Judokaa Martial Arts faring well

By Oshawa This Week

For many, these tournaments were their first chance to try the new skills acquired over the past few months and many were successful. Many of these competitors now plan to travel to further tournaments and they hope to keep up the winning streak.

Adam Scott and MacKenzie Allen finished in first place in their categories, while Teddy Upshaw and Candice Driscoll delivered two second-place finishes each. Kennedie Allen, Joseph Bramma and Kurtus Swain also had second-place results, while Josh Bramma, Presley Ragbir and Dustin Dunn finished third.

Dricoll also won the best spirit award and was the recipient of the Judokaa’s most outstanding student award, which is handed out quarterly. Josh Bramma took the best-left zempo kaitin, for a forward standing roll.
