Amazing trip to the US Open And JIC with the #DreamTeamOkinawa
The Okinawa Team was represented by 28 athletes, 6 coaches, and awesome parents!
Fort Worth, Texas welcomed us with its finest hospitality, nice weather, and good food. The tournament venue was just perfect for this kind of event.
Let’s talk about the level of competition - the 2024 US Open attracted 1250 athletes from 33 countries. The level this year was definitely higher, especially in all Elite divisions. US Karate is doing exceptional work to improve this event. Thank you for bringing top World athletes to USA. The Coaches’ corner was a nice touch.
Our team results:
🥇x 13
🥈x 8
🥉x 21
The team looked really good on Tatami. There is always room for improvement and we know exactly what we need to focus on. Some mistakes were made, somewhere we came a little short, but overall we, the Senseis are very proud of each athlete on our team, regardless of the result. The support you all show to each other, the interactions during long busy tournament days, and the way we all have fun together as a team means more than anything else.
Huge shoutout to our amazing Coches staff: Vitaly, Alex, Eduard, Laura, Paco, and Alberto. The team felt your support and couldn’t do it without you.
The journey continues…
