What is the Norris Cup
The Norris Cup is by far the most coveted prize in the Chun Kuk Do tournament. It is a traveling trophy that only Black Belts can compete to win, and only once a year in Vegas at the CKD World Championships.
The winners from each Black Belt division compete against each other for the Grand Championship and possession of the Norris Cup. The winner then gets to keep the Cup for one year, at which time it is handed down to the next champion ... unless there is a "repeat" winner.
We had the Jr. Forms Norris Cup in our karate school in 2008 when Andi Woods won it. Then Alex Gardner brought it back to us in 2010.
Well, this year our school will be blessed to have both the Jr. Forms Norris Cup and the Adult Forms Norris Cup because both Andi and Alex won their respective divisions. Two students from the same school winning different cups in the same year ... To our knowledge, this has never happened before.
We are SO proud of Alex and Andi, not only for winning but for representing Dunamis Karate and our Region with honor and humility even in their victories!
