Fighting the Reflection? It was the final round of the Boys 13-17 Advanced Sparring Section of the Illinois Shotokan Karate Club tournament held on Sunday, February 10, 2013. All the participants had fought hard, but only two remained in the battle for the first place trophy. The judge looked up to see who the final two were and blinked in surprise. It seemed to be two of the same person! Was he seeing things? Nope, the judge was perfectly sane. The combatants for first place in sparring just happened to be fraternal twins, Eshwar and Chiranth Kishore, who looked pretty identical in matching karate gees and purple belts. As if it wasn’t bad enough that they looked alike, most of their moves were alike, too!

Some plays gave the vision of one person sparring his reflection. The judge struggled to figure out whom to award what point to, but the poor guy tried his best. That is, until one twin accidentally committed a penalty by knocking the other’s head back. The judge had no idea which twin it was! (it was Chiranth, but shhhh!) So, the penalty was annulled. Interestingly enough, it was also Chiranth who finally won the match, bringing home a 1st place trophy in sparring. He also won a 2nd place in Kata and a 3rd place in Kihon (Basics). Eshwar won a 1st place in Kihon (Basics), a 2nd place in Sparring, and a 3rd in Kata. It was truly a successful day for the twins and an entertaining one for everyone watching! All the same, our hearty congratulations to Eshwar and Chiranth.
