Gabriel Quiñones and Josh Worsley, both preparing for the 15th Malaysian Milo Karatedo Open Championships slated on June 6-8 in Kuala Lumpur, each won two gold medals in their respective categories. Quiñones topped the boy’s 14-15 years old Kata and Kumite divisions while Fil-Briton Worshley dominated the boys’ 6-7 Kata and Kumite events. Quiñones, 15, an incoming senior high school at Brokenshire College, outclassed Luis John Decrepito of Holy Cross of Sasa in the kumite finals with a convincing 8-0 victory. He first landed a reversed punch followed by two consecutive kicks on the head. Quiñones advanced into the finals with a hard-earned come-from-behind win against 2014 Batang Pinoy National Games -45 kgs. Gold medalist Luis Angelo Cabaron of Shoto Kai Karatedo Association of Mati. Worsley, on the other hand, also first won the kata before beating Bruce Lee Alegado of Combatants in the kumite finals. The Fil-Briton bested his own teammate Seth Michael Narro in the kata championship. AAK Davao also got the golds from comebacking Arthur ‘Chino’ Lao III (Men’s Open Kumite), Darlene Maramara (Girls 12-13 yrs old Kumite), Carmela ‘Ella’ Estarija (Women’s Kata), Ai Rina Pistelos Kanano (Girls 8-9 yrs old Kata), John Paul Ponce (Boys 10-11 yrs old Kata) and Jamaica Quiben (Girls 12-13 yrs old Kata). Lao, who is coming from a leave of absence due to his studies at Ateneo de Davao, used his experience in beating HC Sasa’s RJ Romero in the exciting championship match of the men’s kumite. Lao quickly landed a kick on the head for a 3-0 score but was hurt by an illegal punch on the throat by Romero. Lao, however, recovered just in time to again connect another kick on the head to widen his lead, 6-0. Romero, a 2012 Batang Pinoy champion, answered with a reversed punch on the body before the end of the 10-minute match. “Ginamit ni Chino ang kanyang experience at utak sa laro,” said AAK Davao chief instructor Rommel Tan. Romero, 16, an incoming biology freshmen, advanced in the finals after surviving against Lao’s teammate Pavel Jervis Bacayo via a technical decision. Bacayo, a geology student of the University of Southeastern Philippines was disqualified after knocking down Romero with a smashing kick on the face. “The referees and judges decided it was an illegal blow. However,, when we reviewed the video, it was not really that strong,” Tan said. The referees and judges were all coming from the different clubs except AAK Davao. Maramara beat her own teammate Jamaica Quiben for the gold in the girls’ 12-13 kumite. AAK Davao’s silver medals were courtesy of Lexine Tan (6-7 yrs old Girls Kata), Seth Michael Narro (6-7 yrs old Boys Kata), Kyzzhia Pauline Navarro (8-9 yrs old Girls Kata & 8-9 yrs old Girls Kumite), Rick Aquino (8-9 yrs old Boys Kata), Darlene Maramara (12-13 yrs old Girls Kata), Julian Ramirez (12-13 yrs old Boys Kata), Daryl Sulla (16-17 yrs old Girls Kata), JP Kalis (16-17 yrs old Boys Kata), John Paul Ponce (10-11 yrs old Boys Kumite), Manuel Sy (12-13 yrs old Boys Kumite) and Estarija (16-17 yrs old Girls Kumite).
