Team Nishime had a busy summer on the competition mats in both karate and
\njiujitsu. From local events to major international tournaments, the team has racked up 253
\nmedals and counting. We are proud of all our athletes and would like to highlight two
\nindividuals who had exceptional performances this year.<\/p>\n
Deshi Cole from Florence won his kumite division at nationals again and immediately
\nflew to Scotland to represent the USA at the WUKF world championships. He was able to earn
\nsilver in both the lightweight and open weight kumite divisions, as well as a bronze in team
\nkumite. Deshi Cole had to overcome some major adversity this season with a major injury that
\nwould keep most people off the mats. He had an outstanding performance in Scotland fighting
\n11 matches in one day.<\/p>\n
Paige from Cincinnati had an excellent season as well. She has shown a lot of
\nimprovement from last year taking gold, silver and 2 bronze at nationals. Paige also represented
\nteam USA in Scotland earning a silver medal in kobudo. As a first year black belt competitor
\nshe\u2019s earned an impressive 29 medals.<\/p>\n
Our entire team puts in lots of hard work and dedication to reach these goals.
\nCongratulations to everyone willing to put themselves out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
