Cassidy and Meredith Shine at Nationals

NOX Dojo’s sport karate team, Club Seiryu, fared well at the 2024 Karate Canada’s National Championships. Eight of our athletes will be representing Canada at the PKF’s Pan Am Karate Championships in Sao Paulo, Brazil this August. There will much said about these athletes upon our return. In this issue however, it must be mentioned our other two (2) superstars.

Meredith Huang and Cassidy Truong laboured hard throughout the year not to earn a podium result. Although both having to fight their way within challenging pools, they demonstrated the true hearts of champions giving their all for the best in the nation. Cassidy who is now ranked the highest Ontario athlete in U21 Female Kata performed admirably against the junior world champion in her division. Her ranking as 5th in Canada is not to be taken lightly as she has lots left in the tank. Meredith is our rising star who performed her personal best this year with a score of 37.40 was among the top scoring athlete in her division with only four (4) other individual athletes scoring higher.

While eight (8) might be heading to Brazil, all ten (10) are among the best in the nation. We are all truly proud of their marvelous results and poise demonstrated throughout the year and look forward to seeing them shine again next year.
