7 WCSK students went to Liverpool to compete in the KUGB Youth Championships.

There were over 200 competing on the day in kata and kumite.

All students did very very well giving outstanding performances, especially as it was the first time for most of them.

There were some very close competitions, and both Anushka and Naomi managed to reach the finals in kata, both ending up with bronze medals.

Looking forward to the next competition and hopefully more medals.

Gareth reigned supreme last month topping the bill by a good 3 sessions.

Very good attendance and 7 new members. This takes the total up to 13 new members so far this year.

Next grading coming up very soon so get those sessions in.
