The annual Advent tournament in Lich has come and gone – Heidelberg participated together with Luca Klein from Offenburg. The five of us fought in the categories 3rd – 6th Kyu, Ladies, Dan and Team.
One of us had an especially successful day: Julia Jonentz made 3rd place in her category, 3rd – 6th Kyu! To top it all off, she passed her examination for 6th Kyu afterwards.
Gianluca Maniaci also fought well in his very first tournament and even scored ippon! He also passed his 6th Kyu. Congratulations!
Leo Wolff and Simon Dehne defeated their first opponents in the Dan category but lost against stronger participants in later rounds. Luca Klein made it all the way to the finals and fought against Hiroyuki Ohno, reminiscent of the recent final at our very own Imasato Hai. After almost 20 minutes of close encho, he finally lost and earned 2nd place.
Last but not least we had our team fights and had to face “Katana Prime”, who went on to earn 1st place.
All in all it was a successful and fun day! Spending Advent Sunday in Lich is fun each and every year and we thank our friends from Lich and everyone who participated.
Winner of the day!
