Hi George & Justin,
Thanks for the coaching yesterday. I was practicing the moves and worked on my face expressions to look scary :). I got the gold medal.
The tournament was a nice experience, but I was not 100% focused doing my first kata. I was a bit lost at one point but the kata completed itself and I didn’t make a mistake. After that I felt confident in my katas.

Kind regards,

Congratulations Milos. We are very proud of you!
