Members of Sevenoaks KJK represented the club in the association National tournament last Saturday in Ashford.
There were representation from not only England, but also Wales, Scotland and Denmark.
The Sevenoaks club performed fantastically well, despite coming up against many more experienced competitors. It was a real pleasure to witness some of our juniors compete for the first time!
The club earned 12 medals overall, and with only 9 competitors. This puts us 2nd overall in the medals table, and i believe this gives us the most per competitor! Ashford, despite having 52 competitors (over half the total number) didn't not earn one per person. Quality, not Quantity!
Club results were (in grade order):
- Sempai Matt: 3rd Kumite, 2nd kata
- Sempai Ellie: 1st kumite, 3rd kata, 1st kickboxing
- Hannah: 1st kumite
- Jessica: 3rd kumite, 3rd kata
- Jackson: 2nd kumite
- Alina: 1st kickboxing
- Seth: 3rd kumite
- Ryan: 2nd kickboxing
Many thanks to all the parents who came to support and survived the whole day!
Also thanks to Harry, the new Thursday night junior instructor, who despite having to pull out due to injury was constantly supporting, coaching, and organising the junior members.
