First place trophy for Fiona

[pegkerr]

Fiona went to a karate tournament yesterday and brought home a first place trophy. The glamor was rather diminished, unfortunately, because she was the only competitor in her division (Creative Weapons Form, black belt girls under age 17). She was doing Me Yung (sp?), the bo form (stick-fighting) for Fourth Degree black belts. She's not pleased with how she did it. I've seen her working on it very hard for the past month. She'll be performing it again in another tournament next month, this time as in the synchronized form division, performed with her instructor. I hope to get some videotape of her doing the form, which is quite complicated.
