Columbia Cup Karate Tournament 2008
An Old School Karate Tournament!

The AMA Dojo makes a grand showing at the Columbia Cup Karate Tournament and some hard and some well earned lessons were learned. Back to the roots of basics and the foundations of Kata. The Tournament was awesome and there was some of the best martial artists in the U.S. there. It was good to see Old friends and to make new ones.
Special thanks to Ray Walker, Sensei and the City of Columbia for hosting such a great event. It was great time!
AMA Dojo Students, WOW what a great showing of heart and respect. The old timers were impressed but insisted that there is plenty of room for improvement on Weapons Kata, empty hand Kata, and Kumite.
