Sergio Roman earned a well fought and well deserved first place for
sparring and forms. This marked the first time the Modified Karate Club
won first place in a Black Belt division. Sergio is the first student officially
awarded the rank of Black Belt at our school and accomplished this goal

12, 2006. The JHP Community
Center's Modified Karate Club participated in an. This was the first event
that our students competed under Olympic Style Sparring rules. MODKA
students trained only for two days for this grueling one six minute

to face experienced competitors during this event. Students
brought home over thirty trophies. Another example of the competitive
edge MODKA students have. |
