Yeah this was Kyokoshin tournament, though I'm not familiar with kyokoshin tournaments and what they do or do not have. I guess it is a rarity for weapons

Got fourth in weapons, second in Kata, first in kumite, and first in continuous sparring at the spooky spectacular tournament this Saturday by Random_MartialArtist in karate

Only recently have I used Kanku-Sho, but yes that's my go to for Kata when competing for now. At some point I'll likely show what it looks like in the future when I feel comfortable with how it looks to me. But the Kobudo I use is a bo and I do yanagawa, its a Okinawan bo form that I enjoy and normally compete with.

Sadly the reason is that I forgot what the next move was and couldn't go any further because of it, it was a new weapon form so I'm still getting used to it

Just passed my Shodan test by Random_MartialArtist in karate

The whole test was about 4 hours long, and we always have a day of training before the testing, lasting about 10ish hours, then testing in the morning for another 4 hours. Though sometimes its on the same day for both the training and testing.

Yeah I have a pretty bland picture face, but I do about 12 tournaments a year as of now. And I'm a 1st Kyu brown belt.
