Hong Kong Karate Open

Congratulations to Emily on earning bronze at the Hong Kong Open (WKF)🥉🔵 Fought against a Hong Kong team fighter and gained incredible experience at a top-level competition. Also inspiring to learn, she attended Eray Samdan’s kumite seminar - ranked number one in the world for the -60kg category before he retired at the start of the year. What a weekend of growth and top-class learning for Emily👊

Thank you to JKS Hong Kong for the opportunity and training during Emily’s stay in Hong Kong🇭🇰
