On Sunday, March 8, our club took part in the 16th edition LONDON FSK CUP.

Huge congratulations to all competitors. We won 22 medals today. Thank you Kyoshi Debi and Sensei Simona for amazing atmosphere and well organised competition.

I would like to congratulate and thank the youngest members of our club who performed at such an event for the first or second time Simon, Max, Jamie, Franio, Freddie and Louis you did great job. Every champion once started just like you do today.

Izabella & Vlada two little stars 🌟 🌟 you bring home some medals today. Very well done to you 🥋💪

Oscar, first competition and two medals 🥇🥈 What a great start 💪🥋

Joel no one can stop you, you deliver every single time. Great tournament today and 3 medals 💪🥋

Maya 4 medals and great experience gained. Today for the very first time in your career you tried one of the most difficult Skotokan Karate kata’s and it gave you 1st place and a gold medal.

Inga - champion of the day in her age category (9-10yo) and three medals in 11-12yo category. Great score and a trophy 🏆

Filip, 🥇winning kata today in category 15-17 years old was amazing thing to watch. Another successful start for you.

Antonina (16yo) won 18+ category 💪🥇 (one catgory up). Antonina won the fight against a sensei/coach (25yo) from another karate club.

Unfortunately, she was disqualified in her category (15-17) In the heat of the moment, she knocked out her opponent. Sport karate is a full-contact sport with controlled punches and kicks. During a fight, two forces sometimes overlap, causing minor injuries (in this case, Antonina's opponent suffered a nosebleed).

Thank you all parents for a great support. Together we are stronger 💪🥋

Inga 🥇🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉🏆
Izabella 🥇🥉🥉

For new and young club members, it was a great way to learn something new. For experienced competitors, it was a great warm-up before the competition in Wales and Richmond.

Congratulations to all participants and thanks to the parents for their help. Together, we can do anything.

The past year wasn't just 365 days; it was a period of hard work, sacrifice, and success. Thank you all for believing in what we do at our club. The wonderful atmosphere and success during the competitions are a credit to the entire club: children and parents.

This hard work resulted in international success and medals at world and European championships.

the greatest reward is the smile and happiness written on the faces of our students.

We wish everyone peaceful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

For many of the youngest students, the yellow belt grading was their first exam ever. For older students, it was one of the last kyu exams on the way to a black belt. Congratulations all 💪🥋
