Yesterday we attended the 58th KUGB National Championships in Nottingham.

Our team performed outstandingly, showing how hard work really does pay off. A few special mentions.

Firstly to Olivia who was very unfortunate to get disqualified in the final of her event after being on top form all day, showing that she truly belongs on this stage. Then to our ladies team consisting of Emma and Evie, despite there only being two of them fought their way through to the final being unbeaten and only losing the final due to there only being two and the Ippon win to their opponents.

Olly Hayward being crowned 12 - 13 Boys Kumite British Champion.

And finally to Sensei Niall Gilligan who, after very hard fought final and beating the current European Champion along the way was crowned Senior Men’s Kumite British Champion and awarded the Sensei Enoeda trophy for being the most outstanding Senior competitor of the day!!!
