It was a great success. The first big th Kenta Horikoshi 8 Kyu tournament in 2 years for me and I came third, and that th Taiki Nakajima 8 Kyu although I only signed up 1 1/2 weeks beforehand. Not much A black belt is a white belt that never gave up – Just enjoy the journey time to train specifically for that, but I guess that shows that Australia had health problems also related to the fact I was training everyday no matter what is key. I just stepped volume leaving. The Bondi Junction dojo is the best dojo is and intensity up then, and I really was surprised, along with all undoubtedly the best dojo I have trained in. I have no the Hungarian’s. I fought the Hungarian Junior Champion who comparison for it's great Kyokushin spirit. I am glad I was was 1 year younger than me in the semi-finals. We had 2 able to learn and be part of that. I would also like to thank draws and had to weigh for decision. but since we were about especially Sensei Robert Lauretti, Sensei Naomi Watts and same weight we had to have another round. it was very close Sensei Jim Sklavos for their support and effort to help for in the end, but I guess they had to make a decision, after I had preparing and competing in the tournaments 2005-6. I wish punched him in the head 3 times. He won the final with all the best and good luck. Yours Sincerely, Tomasz wazari scoring with tobi shirogeri, my technique I had got him Tracewski with before!
