The NIKW Junior league continued once again on Tuesday 1st November. Designed exclusively for our young members to get that vital preparation experience for competition.
Sensei James Brunton, chief kumite coach of the NI Karate Squad led the under 16yr olds in a brief warm up session and then the action started. Family & friends were able to watch on & cheer everyone involved.
The league continues to provide a pathway for officials and referees to get experience and hone their own skills
We are encouraging other parents and adults who are interested in learning to become officials to contact your local instructor to learn more to get involved.
Congratulations to the top winners on the night:
1st Tierna Lavery
2nd Jack Carson
2nd Conor Nugent
3rd Matthew McBride
Sensei James Brunton awarded Daniel Rooney as outstanding competitor, showing excellent speed – an important characteristic needed in kumite.
Members can take a look at results on the night below and also see here for overall results to date for the year.
Congratulations to everyone. See you next time.
