The annual martial arts competition was a three-day event. This was to ensure that all participants would have the time to rest after their battles.
On the first day of the competition, only sixteen participants were qualified to compete in the next round.
Paul Gabriel ended up winning his second fight and entered the top sixteen. His uncle was so proud that his stoic face broke into a smile.
