Tournament season always brings a special energy to the dojo, and this spring’s Whitecourt Tournament was no exception. Members of the BKA traveled to compete, support, and represent the spirit of our dojo — and they delivered in a big way.
Notable results included:
- Zain Simon: Silver in Kumite
- Sensei Bernadine Jugdutt: Gold in Kata, Silver in Kumite, Silver in Team Kata, and 3rd overall in King of the Ring
- Sensei Scott Knowles: Double Silver in two separate Kata divisions, Silver in Kumite, Bronze in Team Kata, and 2nd in King of the Ring
We also want to highlight the efforts of brown belts Kai Barrett and Teo Aytenfisu, who competed with grit and composure. Every athlete showed determination, technical excellence, and sportsmanship — qualities we strive to foster in every BKA member.
Thank you to all who participated, supported, and helped organize. Tournaments like these push us, connect us, and remind us that we grow stronger together.
