OAK HILL — Open since last July, the Heiandjin-Li Karate School will finally get to taste a little competition later this month.
According to Sensei Rick Pyatt, about 15 school members ranging in age from 6 to 40 will be among those participating in the Spring Showdown at Oak Hill High School Saturday, April 28. That invitational tournament, which begins at 8:30 a.m., will be hosted by, among others, Family Martial Arts of Beckley.
Pyatt is co-owner of the Oak Hill school with Sensei Cary VanValkenburgh. Pyatt says things have gone pretty well so far. And the school is excited about getting to compete for the first time.
“This will be the first tournament we’ve competed in, but I think we ought to do pretty well,” he said.
Competition next Saturday will be in open classes as well as children 7-and-below, 8-10, 11-12, 13-14 and 15-16.
