Welcome to Wayne Nguyen's

AOK's Ocean Nationals  TBA 

 

Black Middle School was recently the host of the 2008 Ocean National Karate Tournament. This tournament was produced by Master Wayne Nguyen (waynenguyen.com) and sanctioned by the Amateur Organization of Karate (theaok.org), but competitors came from many different styles including the Kick-Start organization. The Kick-Start program, which is offered at Black Middle School, was created by legendary martial artist and famed actor Mr. Chuck Norris. Traditional this tournament is held at the San Luis Resort Convention Center in Galveston, Texas during September, but this year it was cancelled and rescheduled because of the devastation Galveston incurred as the result of Hurricane Ike.

         The competition began promptly at 9:00am and continued non-stop till approximately 5:30pm. As is usually with any AOK tournament, it was conducted fairly and extremely efficient. With over 300 competitors and some registering the day of the tournament, Master Nguyen and his volunteer support staff did an excellent job of creating an outstanding tournament. Competitors came from Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Dallas and many other great Texas cities. Also, in addition to the competitors, there were many more spectators, which meant the Black Middle School Gym was full to capacity. To view the excitement and action of this tournament, visit dobsonmac.com and go to their action photography page. There you will see 100’s of pictures taken of pattern (kata), sparring and weapons competitions.
