Joe Davis, a student with Armstrong's Tae Kwon Do Fitness Center, earned several honors in 2004 in tournaments. Davis won first place in sparring at the Bushido Karate Classic, the Queen City Open and the Midwest Karate Championships, and he added a third-place in the state's largest tournament, the St. Louis Budweiser National Karate Classic. Davis, who had not been able to participate in tournaments since 1993 due to injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident, has been training with Armstrong's since May.
Tickets for Sunday's Cardinal Caravan, set for 5 p.m. at the Osage Community Centre, are available there or at A.C.Brase Arena. Tickets are $3.
