JAMAICA reaped a record 88 medals at the recent International Sports Karate Association United States Open in Orlando, Florida, bagging 33 gold, 22 silver and 33 bronze from the world’s biggest martial arts open.

Combined team captain Nicholas Dusard handed Jamaica their 85th medal when he defeated arch-rival United States World Champion Julio Carlos live on ESPN’s Night of Champions at the Open.

Adult black belts from Jamaica’s combined martial arts team, comprising Kingston Taekwon-Do, Ningen, Rising Sun and Seido karate, were particularly impressive as they mined seven gold, four silver and three bronze.

The combined team won the three-man continuous-sparring title and the females placed second to Germany in the Intercontinental team-sparring Gold Cup. Members of the team, male and female, swept clash-sparring divisions in individual bouts, winning five gold, one silver and a bronze.
