BKF British Karate International Championships – Sheffield 🥋
Day 3 completed ✅️ — and what a day it’s been!
Another early start and another full day of karate, nerves, excitement and some fantastic performances. ❤️🥋
First up was Niah in the Junior Female Kata, where she put in a brilliant performance and came away with an amazing individual Bronze medal 🥉. Such a great achievement and so well deserved! 👏💪
Caian came incredibly close in his category. He fought his way through to the repechage Bronze medal match and unfortunately lost by the smallest of margins, 2–1. 💔 It’s always tough to come so close to a medal, but what a fantastic effort and performance from him. He should be really proud of himself. 👏🥋
Chloe had a tough day competing in the U21 category, facing some very strong opposition. She lost in the first round and then went on to face another extremely tough opponent in the Senior category, narrowly losing 2–1. 🥋💪 Although the results didn’t go Chloe’s way, she showed that she can compete at this level and can take plenty of positives from the experience.
And then came another fantastic result for Niah and Chloe as they teamed up in Senior Female Pairs Kata and took home a brilliant Silver medal 🥈! 👏🔥
James also fought extremely well in the Junior Male -76kg Kumite. He had a really close fight, finishing 6–6, with the result unfortunately going against him due to some small mistakes. It was a tough way to lose, especially in such a closely fought match, but James showed plenty of fight and determination throughout. 💪🔥 These are the fights you learn the most from, and he can definitely take plenty of positives away from it.
There have been some highs, some disappointments, plenty of nerves, lots of hard-fought battles and, most importantly, lots of experience gained. Every single one of you has given your absolute best and represented yourselves and the club brilliantly. ❤️🥋
We couldn’t be prouder of every one of you! ❤️🥋
And now… we’re finally home! 🏠 After a long drive back from Sheffield, it’s time to put our feet up, get some well-earned rest and reflect on what has been an amazing weekend. 🚗💨😴
BKF British International Championships — done! ✅️
