As usual top national competition showed up to get in on the action. This years 24th Louisiana Pro-AM was held in the prestigious Hilton Riverside in the beautiful French Quarter in down town New Orleans.

Party and tourism make this city a prime destination for many martial arts organizations. Competitors came from as far away as Mexico and New York to win at this first National Black Belt League competition.

Not meaning to sound repetitive, but this was a great place to have a tournament. Boice Lydell, head of the NBL was in attendance to oversee the event and take care of business. The tournament started at 6pm. As usual the technical divisions and continuous sparring ran. A large contingent from Texas enhanced the level of competition with a number of well know champions in attendance.

2008 DFW Karate Championships
Written by Johnnie Murphy   
Monday, 03 November 2008
 Fort worth is usually associated with livestock and cowboys. But little known to all is its large martial arts community. Proximity to Dallas Texas and the enormous metro area of communities guarantee tough competition for all. Dewy Sutton and his large martial arts group were the ramrod’s of this Saturday October 11 2008 event. Held in the beautiful Amon Carter, Jr. Exhibits Hall of the Will Rogers Memorial Center in downtown Fort Worth, no expense was spared to accommodate competitors from all over the state of Texas. As a Texas AOK organization event, certain requirements were central to everyone’s best experience and fair competition. This includes the selection of top judges and participation of AOK promoters.
   The exhibition hall has an excellent stage. This is where all adult black belt forms and weapons completion was ran off. Extra divisions were added to enhance the variety of competitors. Included were extra traditional and a senior weapons only division. As to be expected many of the competitors found themselves with there hands full as competition was tough. The floor of the exhibition hall had rings with puzzle mats and other safety materials covering the competition surface.
