Quesnel’s Valois Kung-fu Club members competed in a karate tournament in Smithers and put on a show, says head instructor Marc Valois.
“We brought home gold, silver and bronze medals.
“We went there last year and did very well then and did very well this year.”
Eight people travelled to Smithers and seven competed.
Noting the club is starting to travel to other competitions, Valois says the club will be having its own tournament in 2019.
“We were hoping to have this spring, but with the move from Maple Drive Junior School, we haven’t had time to get our new place in good enough shape to hold a tournament.”
