Chito-Ryu Karate School preparing for Edmonton tournament

Competitors with the Moose Jaw Chito-Ryu Karate School will have a chance to show how just how much they’ve learned this weekend.
And if past excursions to the Satewin Friendship Tournament in Edmonton are any indication, the local contingent can expect to give a good accounting of themselves.
A total of 16 competitors will make the trip — green belt Emilio Tello, orange belts Taylan Dufresne, Dustin Atsu, Matthew Florizan, Christopher Florizan, yellow belts Dylan Dufresne, Keenan Prestie, white belts Kylan Prestie, Kiri Prestie, Kelsey Prestie, Shaylee Rosnes, Brandon Rosnes, Samantha Busse, Owen Kinch, Jared Phillips and Michael Latour — and each will be looking to come home with a handful of hardware.
“They’re all excited and they deserve it, they’ve trained hard all year and this is a chance for them to show what they can do,” said head instructor John Tello. “They want to go out there and win, but they also know that they’re competing against their own calibre, so it’s not going to be a walk in the park. They’re going to have to work at it if they want to do well.”
This year’s event will feature a bit of a different look for some of the newcomers, as the tournament will include freestyle sparring in addition to kata performances for all belt and age groups.
