Central Catholic High School All Valley Karate Tournament 2010

Osu!

On May 15th, the CCHS Karate Club hosted the First Annual All Valley Karate Tournament. Incredibly, there were over 50 competitors and another 50 friends and family members attended the event in support of its competitors.


The CCHS Karate Club was honored to have Hanshi Larry Giordano, several of his black belts from MKA, and his demonstration team from MKA participating and judging during the event. The afternoon started off with a spectacular demonstration of karate techniques, weapons applications, board and block breaking, and self defense techniques.



The tournament itself was a huge success for Central Catholic as well as Methuen Karate. Each group had several fierce competitors in the fighting, forms, and weapons divisions. Central Catholic's Trae Musumarra (Methuen native) captured 1st place in the men's fighting division beating out several higher ranking competitors. In the women's division, Shannon Bradish took home several medals in the advanced division of fighting and forms. Other competitors who stood out for CCHS were: In the men's division - Keegan Shea, Brendan Stolarz, Jessie Alfonso, Ben Maroon, and Brian Silvey. In the women's division - Amy Whitney Perry, Samantha Gilman, Junellie Leon, Michelle Lagrange and Lauren Krugh.




Congratulations to all of these competitors on their success not only in this tournament, but during the course of the entire year!

Osu!
