The 2019 Guelph Open Karate Tournamnet attracted roughly 175 competitors on Saturday to the Centennial CVI gym, starting at age 4 and up to some senior competitors.
It is the seventh consecutive year for the event, which is hosted by Tri City Training and is also a fundraiser for the Guelph Wish Fund For Childre, who benefit from proceeds from the event plus a large silent auction held during the day.
Competitors compete in Kata (karate form demonstration), kumite (point sparring) and kobudo (weapons forms).
