Kenneth entered 5 events and brought home 5 trophies. 1st place Weapons, 2nd place Traditional Kata, 3rd place Contemporary Kata, 4th place Contemporary Kata to Music, and 4th place Sparring. Unfortunately, while sparring Kenny dislocated his thumb in the sudden death portion of a tied match. He chose to continue and compete in his final match. Kenneth kicked his way through, losing by 1 point and securing the 4th position. This was by far the largest and most competitive tournament for young Kenneth. In preparation, Kenny spent many hours at home training as well as 4 days a week, 3-4 hours per day at the dojo with his main instructor Shihan Jerry Piddington and his private instructor Sensei Denise Jensen. Both instructors are World Champion title holders. The 2000 Legacy International has now qualified Kenneth to compete in the Super Grands World Championships. This competition will be held in December of this year, location has yet to be announced. Kenneth is an extremely dedicated and hard working young man, in addi tion to his Karate training he is also an honor roll student and studies the guitar with emphasis on classical and blues. His parents are very proud of his accomplishments and would encourage any letters of support from our fellow Tribal members. Kenneth can be e-mailed at K53947aol.com.
