Sunderland Competition 21/06/2026

Great day today at the Sunderland Karate Championships. Everyone performed really well, gaining valuable experience. Well done to everyone. Scott performed well at his first ever event. Mike did well in kata and fought very well, going out in the second round but improving all the time. Joseph was unlucky in kata, and showed what a good fighter he is, winning his first round match with some fast front hands. Emi is getting better and gaining confidence all the time, and achieved a fine fourth place medal in the under 10 kata. William Fox also fought very well, and came away with a good fourth place medal in brown belt kata. Matty was also unlucky in kata, but fought all the way to the final and gained silver, only losing out to a good fighter from Leeds. Will M did a great job as team captain, as he always does, and was very unlucky not to make the final of his kumite, but still gained bronze. We're very proud of everyone.
