The JKA World Cup has come and gone, but what a great experience. The best of the best from 40 odd countries all competing in one place. . .a karateka's nirvana. What does it take to secure victory at that level?

I personally found the highlight to be watching Japan's kata team compete - really, really impressive. But one's got to give credit to the other strong competitors - Australia and South Africa always make a strong showing, and the Aussie women in particular did their country proud in individual and team sparring. And based upon some of the men's team from Brazil and Argentina, South America is rapidly making inroads into international competition. Anyway, here are all the results from the adult competition:
