The NIKW staged its annual Youth Karate tournament in Antrim on 11th June, the Brunton Cup.
The event is designed specifically for young students under 16yrs, and aimed at helping those with limited competition experience get their first chance to take part and understand some of the formalities that are part of competition.
Sensei Oliver Brunton, chief instructor of NIKW and president of NI Karate Board, launched this competition a number of years ago to help young students gain confidence and vital competition experience. This is so important in a students wider development in Karate training.
The NIKW would like to thank all those who participated in the competition, and their parents.
Officials, referees and volunteers who all helped make such a successful event.
Congratulations to all those who participated and also to those who came out winners this time.
The overall winning club/association is the club which came out top on points from its members medals.
Congratulations to the NIKW.
