Awesome day an opportunity to watch some great displays of Kyokushin Kata both teams and individual, there were 86 people entered and KKC Karate accounted for 25 of these, well done to all who entered as this is a great opportunity for you to showcase your karate. I so enjoy watching the students compete and see how they are always improving. Osu!
Also thank you to all form KKC Karate who helped with the day as without your assistance the IFKKA can’t put on these tournaments.
