World Combat Games

Just over a month ago, CKF was asked by the FIK to participate in
the 2010 Combat Games to be held Aug 30 - Sept 5 in Beijing.
 
The categories were:
Men's (5,6,7 Dan) - 2 participants
Men's (8 Dan) - 1 participant
Women's (3,4,5 Dan) - 1 participant
Women's (6 dan & higher) - 1 participant
 
Kamata-Sensei was specifically asked to participate by the FIK
FIK also wanted the other participants to be well known (taikai champions etc)
  
Hao-Sensei and I were asked to make the final selection.
As we do not have a candidate for the Women's 6 Dan & Higher group, Okusa-Sensei
asked the FIK to allow Wendy Robillard to participate in this category. FIK agreed.
 
Final selections were:
Men - Matthew Raymond and Suguru Asaoka
Men (High Rank) - Kamata-Sensei
Women - Maya Taguchi
Women (High Rank) - Wendy Robillard
 
Please check the CKF or FIK website for info on the games.
 
Congratulations to our selected participants.
