What an exhilarating start to June it's been! On the 4th, our formidable JSK team, consisting of 12 skilled karatekas,
showcased their prowess at the Toronto Open Karate Tournament. In an arena packed with talent from Ontario, Quebec,
and across Canada, our team emerged victorious, bringing back an impressive haul of 12 medals.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our athletes, who demonstrated not just skill but an inspiring dedication to their craft. It is their unwavering commitment to training that has led to such an accomplishment. While not every bout ended with a medal, we take pride in each performance. As is the nature of competitive sport, there are ups and downs - we celebrate the highs, and learn from the lows. Remember, the only true defeat lies in not learning from the experience.
Allow us to share the spotlight and applaud our medalists:
