Last weekend, Josh and Evalyn represented our program at the Karate Canada U21 & Senior National Championships, competing among the top athletes in the country.

Josh stepped onto the tatami in both U21 Male Kata and Senior Male Kata, taking on the challenge of performing across two highly competitive divisions. Competing at U21 requires speed, sharpness, and precision, while Senior demands an even greater level of presence, power, and maturity. Josh rose to the occasion, demonstrating growth, composure, and a willingness to test himself against experienced senior athletes.

For Evalyn, this event marked an exciting milestone, her Senior Female Kata debut. Moving into the senior ranks is a significant step in an athlete’s development. Evalyn embraced the moment with courage and professionalism, gaining valuable experience at the highest national level.

Nationals is never just about one performance. It represents months of disciplined training, technical refinement, strength work, and mental preparation. Both athletes carried themselves with focus and integrity throughout the weekend, and the experience gained will be instrumental as we continue building toward future goals.
​
We are incredibly proud of Josh and Evalyn for their commitment, resilience, and continued pursuit of excellence. This is only the beginning of the next chapter.
​

​It was a strong weekend of competition with excellent performances and podium finishes from our athletes.
Josh delivered consistent performances across divisions, earning:

• 🥈 U21 Elite Kata
• 🥉 Senior Elite Kata

Evalyn had an outstanding weekend, earning:

• 🥉 Junior Elite Kata

These results reflect growing confidence, technical development, and the value of consistent, focused training. Congratulations to both athletes on an impressive weekend of competition.
