Oh, very high level indeed. Most of the guys that took the third place in the previous WKC were there. The Onaka family took home most trophies (Ernesto and Miwa Onaka were on the Brazilian team at the WKC and were selected for the next one as well), including the 'Over fifty years old' with the head sensei of the family. That was a pleasure to watch after all the head-bobbing, waist-bending, etc. The old ones moved very little, very slowly, until the precise moment when they clashed with tremendous force.
Yeah, I believe next year will be better. I lost in the second match to a very small guy (I'm 1,80m). Later on my friends told me 'don't worry, you couldn't win against Master Yoda'. The guy fought like Yoda in Ep.II, jumping and running around all the time. His kote was way far to be hit, if I tried Do I'd hit his face, so men was all that was left, but he blocked most of the blows and the ones who landed were not good enough. He ended up winning by keashi do, mind you.
Now don't go calling me nuts, but I do enjoy kakarigeiko. Really.
