World Judo Kata Championships, Malta, October 17 and 18th 2009

Kelly Palmer and Gord Okamura placed 7th in the World in Katame no Kata at the first IJF World Championships. Kelly writes:

This was the first World Kata Championships, held on the island nation of Malta. Last year the IJF held a test event (the IJF Kata World Cup) in Paris, and this event was run in an identical fashion. Overall, we placed 7th - up one place from Paris where we placed 8th. As with Paris, the teams could only compete in one Kata each. Each Kata was divided into two pools, with the top three in each pool advancing to the final - we were #4 in our pool, and higher than the remaining teams in the other pool (so the top 6 teams went to the finals - we were #7. Ouch...). In our pool were Spain (the eventual Silver medalist) and Italy (Bronze). They were teams #1 and #2 advancing, with Germany (who were slightly ahead of us in Paris) being the third team.

However, I got a look at the score sheets - there were 5 judges. One judge had us in second place, and the next two had us about even with third place. This left the Spanish Judge and German judge, who gave their marks to Spain and Germany respectively....

While we were disappointed to be so close to the finals and not get there, we improved over Paris - and I guess being #7 in the world is a good place to start!

In Malta, all of the medalists were Japan (Gold in each) with Spain and Italy getting all the silver and bronzes (save one - in Nage no Kata, the Paris Gold medalist from Romania had to settle for Bronze) - and in almost all cases, it was the same teams winning in Malta that had medaled in Paris. We also noted that scores generally were tighter and lower than Paris - while our score in Malta was lower than our Paris score, the same was true for all teams (including Japan) - so I think a direction had gone out to mark tighter.

As with the Paris tournament, each of Japan, Spain and Italy devoted tremendous resources to international Kata – each of these countries has large teams which include coaches, managers and trainers – the budget of all other countries combined may not reach theirs!

Saw some great Kata (the Kime no Kata this year was especially good), toured around Malta (very pretty) and drank lots of Maltese beer (Cisk brand - not bad!). Once again we learned a huge amount, and look forward to sharing our experiences with Judo Alberta!

Keith Morgan wins Silver at Pan Am Games July 20, 2007

Keith Morgan (Ishi Yama Judo Club-Calgary) won a Silver medal at the Pan Am Games in Rio de Janeiro Friday, July 20th.

"It was a pretty good day and I was happy with how I fought", Morgan said. "I had a 'kind' draw and beat Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic both by ippon on my way to the final".

Morgan, who fought a tough fight with a Cuban in the final match, lost by a koka in the last 3 seconds before going to overtime. While Morgan must hold the number one position in Canada to attend the next Olympic games, the Silver medal division adds to his chances of accomplishing that that goal.
