Karate, literally meaning “way of the empty hand” in Japanese, is a martial art that emphasises striking techniques such as punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes using open hand techniques. It originated as a method of self-defence which relied on the effective use of the unarmed body, and was made up of elaborate techniques of blocking or thwarting an attack and counter-attacking.
As a physical art, karate is almost without equal. This highly dynamic sport provides excellent all-round exercise and develops co-ordination and agility, making balanced use of a large number of body muscles. (more…)
Big gathering of stars
at PSA annual awards
Posted: 10:48 PM (Manila Time) | Dec. 18, 2003
Inquirer News Service
THE PHILIPPINE Sportswriters Association will stage what is expected to be the biggest gathering of sports stars in recent years when it holds the 2003 PSA Annual Awards Night on Jan. 9 at the Manila Pavilion.
Malacañang has already acknowledged receipt of the copy of invitation sent by PSA president Robert D. Cuevas subject to confirmation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who is expected to grace the occasion this year to personally present the awards and cash incentives to the athletes.
 |
Two years ago, the Chief Executive graced the PSA rites, presenting the top award shared by Fil-American golfer Dorothy Delasin and billiards king Efren “Bata” Reyes.
Manny Pacquiao, the “people’s consensus” world featherweight champ and reigning International Boxing Federation superbantam titlist, and CJ Suarez, the fourth Filipino to win the Bowling World Cup, head the awardees as co-winners of the Athlete of the Year plum.
Also high on the list of awardees are the women’s trios of Liza del Rosario, Liza Clutario and Cecilia Yap, who made history by becoming the first Asians to win a gold in the World Tenpin bowling championship, and the Bacolod girls’ softball squad which topped the Junior League World Series 13-14 division.
Sports officials said the President, who failed to grace last year’s edition, is very likely to accept the invitation considering her support to the campaign of Pacquiao and the other athletes and the backing of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo to sports through the First Gentleman Foundation.
Other achievers, including the gold medalists in the last Southeast Asian Games in Vietnam, will be feted during the Awards Night sponsored by Red Bull and Agfa Color and supported by San Miguel Corp., Philippine Olympic Committee, Philippine Sports Commission, Samsung, Philippine Basketball Association and Manila Mayor Lito Atienza.
The awardees:
Athletes of the Year-Manny Pacquiao and CJ Suarez
PSA President’s Award-Liza del Rosario, Liza Clutario and Cecilia Yap
Antonio M. Siddayao Award-Bacolod girls’ softball team
Hall of Fame-Ben Arda and Celestino Tugot

The karatekas are keen on surpassing the lone gold medal they won in teh 2003 Vietnam SEA Game from Gretchen Malalad, who will seek to retain her title in the women’s 60-kilogram and above kumite.
A 2003 Miss Philippines quarterfinalist, Malalad will plunge into action along with Mae and Luche Metante.

KDA participants included black belters Roehl Parungao, Cherli Tugday, John Coronel, and Alma Cabasal. Although just a few, KDA still proved to be strong and competitive. Cherli Tugday won Gold in Women’s -60 kg Kumite after beating John Falgatan. Aside from that, Tugday bagged the silver and bronze medals in the Women’s Individual Kata and Women’s Open Weight Kumite events, respectively. In the Men’s +75 kg Kumite event, John Coronel garnered a silver medal after his last bout against RP team member Michael Dumayag of SKI. There were more than 30 clubs who participated in this two-day meet including KDA, SKI, ASK (Cebu and Tacloban), Philippine Navy, Philippine Army,Philippine National Poilce, JKA (Lipa, Cebu, and NCR) , SSK, DKD, and many more. The opening ceremony lasted for almost 3 hours, which was probably one of the longest ceremonies ever.
