As the curtains came down Sunday evening on the 2012 International Karate Daigaku Shoto Camp and World Cup Karate Tournament in Toronto, Canada, Team Guyana put in a stunning performance with the Guyana Karate College placing second with 24 Gold, 4 Silver and 17 Bronze a total of 45 Medals ahead of Trinidad and Tobago, who brought third and just behind Ontario that brought first.
Young Guyanese Karate sensation, Ten year old Aliyah Wong led the way of Guyana’s success story with a phenomenal feat of copping five gold medals winning every event in her category.
The Guyana Karate College, which was led by its Senior Instructor and Vice Chairman Sixth Degree Black belt, Sensei Jeffrey Wong, was particularly proud of its achievements since it was its first World Cup that it was participating in, and took a very young team that with the exception of two seniors, only had international experience at the Caribbean and Pan American tournaments.
This first IKD International Daigaku Cup which was held from July 7-8, 2012 saw delegations from all over the globe for both Kata and Kumite events, where practitioners of karate in all ages vied for the top ranks in traditional Shotokan Karate, saw a series of exciting matches with a demonstration of the physicality and mental toughness that are characteristic of karate practitioners.
The hosing of the next IKD World Shotokan Karate Tournament which is scheduled for 2015, has been awarded to Caracas, Venezuela.
The GKC would like to thank all the sponsors who were responsible of making this historic occasion as a reality to this very young team.
