A massive thank you and well done to everyone who took part in yesterday’s WUKF Scottish Open in Dundee.
Great teamwork and spirit shown across the board and the results speak for themselves- continued progress once again.
Special shout out to Harvey’s successful debut on the mats and to all our coaches who not only looked after our team but also stepped onto the mat.
Our very own ‘McPowell’ won the Vets Sanbon.
It was also the first time for our Oban colleagues to be part of Team HKA and you fitted right in!
