Congratulations to Payton and Jack Nelson who participated in the Southern Open Tournament in Hammond in April. This was their first tournament and they represented the Lafayette Karate Kids class with great spirit, respect and awesome karate! If you look for Allyson OKeefe photography on the web, you'll find her great sports photos and an album for this tournament.
Payton and Jack were the very first students in the youth class when we started 2 summers ago, and for a while they were the only students! So it was especially cool for me to go to their first tournament with them. There is a lot to be learned through tournament competition, and I believe they both came away with a new perspective on karate as well as on themselves.
