The youngest competitors\u2019 bouts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the morning hours, the hall filled with the youngest participants in the competition \u2013 Ma\u0142e Smoki. For many of them, it was a special day and their first tournament. A debut on the mat, completing the obstacle course to the loud cheering of their parents, their first sporting successes, as well as strong emotions that sometimes ended in tears quickly turned into smiles thanks to the support of the coaches. As the subsequent groups \u2013 children and juniors \u2013 took their turns, the intensity of the competition and sporting emotions grew, and the competitors faced one another in patterns, special techniques, speed-kicking, soft-stick and semi-contact bouts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
