The Estevan Tae Kwon-Do Club hosted its seventh annual tournament on Saturday at Estevan Comprehensive School.
With patterns, sparring and power breaking on display, Estevan club instructor Wayne Brown said he was happy with how the proceedings went, despite entries being down slightly from past years.
Just shy of 100 competitors made the trek for the event.
"It was a little less than we had hoped for, but weather and road conditions kind of impacted the ability of clubs from Saskatoon and Prince Albert to attend," Brown said.
"It was diappointing, but at the same time, we were happy with 100."
Still, a club from Ozler and one from Saskatoon did show up, along with clubs from Weyburn and Lampman.
A pair of instructors from the northern clubs, Fern Giesbrecht and Chris MacIntosh, were given the tournament's Spirit of Tae Kwon-Do award.
Brown said the award, which usually goes to one individual, was presented to the two "for making it through the roads and doing what they had to do to get there."
The day began with patterns demonstration, followed by hand and foot power breaking, which is usually the biggest attraction. The tournament finished up with the sparring portion.
"It was smooth, there were no significant injuries and I thought the competitors represented their clubs well. Throughout the day, I saw different clubs making it to the top of the podium," said Brown.
He also thanked the club's executive and sponsors for making it possible to host the tournament.
