Guam Kyokushin Cornerstone Volume 1, No. 3 May 16, 2014 Elijah Guerrero in his first international tournament fought hard and gave a great effort I am happy that he did both the kata competition and the kumite. He showed great bravery." For 2014, this new year found our youth fighters have come a long way. For Isaac Cabrera, Paul Aguon, Justin Leon Guerrero and Myka Terlaje this is their second major international tournament experience. First timers to the event are Elijah Guerrero, Emily Hawthorne, Justin Sablan and Jake Cabrera." According to Sensei Tony on his website:" “After Day one the boys did very well. Isaac Cabrera won his first match by judges decision, but lost to a half point decision at the very end of his second match; it was a very good fight. " Photo of Elijah by Ron Guerrero Next year boy we'll get 'em!" Justin Leon Guerrero did well but I felt it could have gone to an extension but I am proud of him. He showed that he deserves to be at this tournament! OSU!" Justin Sablan in his first international tournament did well but got eliminated by a decision, he has come a long way and has a good opportunity to get even better!" Paul Aguon fought a very good opponent but showed too that he has the tenacity to come back next year even stronger. I have great hopes for him as well." ! ! ! ! Guam Kyokushin Karate Association ! And finally Jake Cabrera fought a great match with a good opponent, he lost by decision but I see now jake is finding his fight within. He is definitely another one on the Guam team that will make his mark soon in Japan. OSU!" ! ! ! ! ! www.guamkyokushinkai.com [email protected] 3
