A seven-year-old athlete from Richmond, Logan Minshall, showed off his skills and brought home two gold medals at the recent Western Canadian Martial Arts Championships. The championships, held at Simon Fraser University, saw Minshall dominate in both the WKU continuous kick light division and the sport karate point division.
In the kickboxing division, Minshall won his first fight, securing a spot in the finals where he emerged victorious once again. His impressive performance continued in the sport karate point category, where he defeated Ramsey Farag in the first round and then went on to beat his fellow academy athlete, Samuel Monroy, in the next fight.
Although Minshall faced Farag again in the final of the double-elimination competition and suffered a narrow loss, he didn’t let that deter him. Determined to claim the gold medal, Minshall faced off against Farag once more and emerged triumphant with a score of 5-1.
