Weald Tournament Success!

Last weekend Sempai Matt, Head instructor at Sevenoaks KJK along with 2 young students took part in the Annual Weald of Kent KJK/WIBK Tournament held in Northiam.

Sempai Matt managed to retain his senior high grade kata title defeating strong competitors from all over the south east. Matt is pictured on the far right in the image below along with other competitors from the Eastbourne and Hailsham clubs.

Khloe and Louis, the junior competitors both took part in the kata and kumite catagories which are usually the largest categories on the day.
Louis performed some excellent kata ad narrowly missed out on a medal position achieving 4th place.
Khloe had similar success but in the kumite achieving 4th place after defeating a number of opponents along the way.

There was a lot of positives to take away from the day, but as always areas to improve ready for the next one! Well done to all competitors. Remember, the hardest part is stepping onto the mat!

More tournament success for club!

Members of the Sevenoaks Karate and Kickboxing Club had recent success in the Weald Tournament hosted by the Northiam Karate Jutsu Kai Dojo.

We were represented in the Kumite (Karate Sparring), Kata (Forms) and Kickboxing Categories.

The club came away with a 3rd place in Senior High Grade Kata, and a 1st Place in Junior Girls Kickboxing.

This Tournament also signified a change in the club, with Sempai Ross, who has been teaching at the club for around 10 years about to move out to Dubai after a recent work promotion.

He will be sorely missed at the club, particularly by the many students who he has trained from a young age, who are now being regularly successful in tournaments.

New Red Belts!

Students from the Sevenoaks club took part in their first association grading recently.
The grading was tough, and the room was hot and sweaty.

All of the Sevenoaks students got through their technical and physical examination, and passed their first grading, achieving their 10th kyu's (Red belts).

The club instructors are extremely proud of their achievement.

Next up is some more training towards the annual Weald tournament, which the club hopes to continue its usual success.
