Splits: Oscar Mayes shows his flexibility as well as the medal he earned at the PMA Winter Challenge in Calgary.

There was no need for sibling rivalry as brothers Oscar and Sawyer Mayes participated in different divisions at the PMA Winter Martial Arts Challenge in Calgary.

Both are students of PMA (Provincial Martial Arts) Salmon Arm Karate.

Oscar earned a fourth-place medal from his efforts in both point sparring and kata. Sawyer also performed his kata and point sparring to bring home the bronze medal in his division.

Both boys are now training for their red belt test coming up in March.

Also, PMA Karate will be having a knife defence/sparring seminar on March 15 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. followed by belt testing on March 16 from noon to 4 p.m.

Both are being held at the downtown activity center in Salmon Arm and will include students from Sicamous, Enderby and Salmon Arm.
