What a weekend for Team Sengoku! β€οΈπ€π
A team of nine travelled up to Scotland to compete at the Kanzan Cup, proudly representing Sengoku Martial Arts as part of the wider GB Kenshin Karate Organisation - KKO Squad.
This team continues to impress every time they step onto the mats but what people donβt always see are what happens behind the scenes.
The hours of training
The repetition.
The development of muscle memory.
Listening to feedback and then putting it into practice.
The disappointments and tears.
There have been times during their journeys when things havenβt gone their way. The medals werenβt always there and sometimes they didnβt make it beyond the early rounds. But each time, they regrouped, learned from the experience and came back ready to try again.
Now theyβre reaping the rewards of that determination and resilience! πͺ

Weβve also come away knowing exactly what we need to work on. There are still improvements to be made, and weβll be stepping up the training in preparation for the European Championships in Sheffield this October.
Thereβs plenty more to come from this team!
A huge well done to everyone who competed, and thank you to the coaches Brian Hall and Hayley Just, teammates and especially the families who sacrifice so much for their children to be able to pursue their passion. Thanks also for being on hand to ensure everyone was where they needed to be.
Proud to be and proud to be part of the
