Team competition by Honza

In early Sunday morning of 21st of October 2012 we departed at horrible time (for it was Sunday) – at 6.30. Three cars departed from Černý Most and one from Červený Vrch (near Dejvice for those who don´t know). So we went by four cars and met in Tesla Aréna in Brno.
When we arrived, tatami was already built and the tables and chairs for umpires as well. Some of us also brought their umpire clothing so they could determine the fates of other teams, mostly in children categories.

The competition traditionally started with team line-up. At first sight it was obvious that there is less team than in previous years. It was said that the reason was STM competition one week earlier. Some people had an injury so their teams were unable to participate at this competition.

Children categories started first but Sonkal had no participants there. But in general there was most of the competitors and this categories took a lot of time. Girls were done earlier and straight after them junior female categories began. At this tournament any team could compete in patterns and sparring, system was all against all and it was also possible to compete in higher category. We had really strong female team made by good-looking and hard girls – Kristýna Hudková, Veronika Holečková and Cobra Žilinská the Older (Tereza). In junior category they had only one opponent in patterns and two in sparring. They defeated them in both disciplines so our girls got two gold medals and so did they in senior category.

Junior male team was not much worse. This team made by Humloš (Jiří Huml), Veverčák (Lukáš Veverka), František Sakař, Martin Bičovský and Pavel Zacharuk won gold medal in patterns and after a hard fight is sparring as well. During the fight Pavel was injured (hopefully not badly) when he was kicked in his back. Everything else went without any problems.

After quick lunch break many umpires got changed to doboks and to the role of competitors. Senior female team – Monika Junová, Kristýna Hudková, Veronika Holečková and sparring support Cobra Žilinská. They had only one opponent and the result was as I mentioned above.

Finally the senior male competition started. Composition for patterns: Vóďa (Tomáš Vodička), Šnáblík (Pavel Šnábl), Michal Zacharuk, Humloš and René Čapek. Composition for patterns was the same plus me. (During the time I didn´t compete I made videos. So I was not mooching or something :-)).

In patterns we had two opponents; one was Třebíč and I forgot the second one. Our guys were were more successful than the others so they won gold medal. Třebíč was second. Sparring was not that successful for us, but I still think we fought well. But we had 5 opponents and this category was divided into two groups of three teams.

Victors of the two groups went to final, teams with one win fought for bronze medal and loosers in both matches ended the competition. Our team fought with Brno B, than against Opava. In second group there was Brno A, Třebíč and some other team. Senior sparring ranking: 1. Brno A, 2. Brno B, 3. Třebíč.

Unfortunately we ended without any medal but we were happy about our performance. At least I was.

On our way back we traditionally stopped in McDonald´s and hurried home. I don´t know about other cars but we from Petřiny got home at about 20.30. That´s all from me.
