vulcantekkakarate – High River Karate Club

Well done to everyone who attended and competed in our 2nd Annual Sensei Robert Robinson Memorial Tournament on March 1, 2026! We had a great turnout with competitors from the Vulcan Tekka Karate and High River Karate Clubs, along with family and friends.

Sensei’s Lyle and Dorothy Braunwarth joined us to provide much appreciated guidance on proper tournament procedures and helped with the draws for the tournament. Sensei Robert’s family (his daughter Chase) brought Sensei Robert’s karate uniform and medals for everyone to admire. Sensei Sue, Senpai Travis & Senpai Ryan from Vulcan, and Sensei Travis, Sensei Gillian, & Senpai Laurie from High River, all served as officials and managed marshalling of competitors.

Congratulations to all of our competitors – whether you won or lost, you did your best and will do even better next year! And thank you to everyone who came out to support our students!

Thank you also to Sherry Top and John Hurst for the many amazing photos from the event:
