This was a massive undertaking by the IFKKA to hold an event with 5 disciplines – Kata Teams & Individual, Clicker Kumite Teams & Individual and of course Kyokushin Full Contact Kumite.
We had 130 entries for the day, four rings of competition that ran well with the support of all the IFKKA Volunteers and a special thanks to all form KKC Karate who helped make this day a success. A big thank you, as without your support we could not have had such a successful day.
