Bristol JKA Karate @ Southville & Kingsdown

Bristol Karate Students as young as 9 and as old as 33 competed in a South West tournament on Sunday.  The event, organised by the England wing of the worldwide Japan Karate Association (JKA) saw Bristol top the medals table with 8 finalists and 12 medals in total. The under 11's kata (forms) category saw Bristol dominate all four final places.  Senior Bristol Instructor Michael Harris said "It was a great opportunity to pit skills against local JKA clubs from Glastonbury, Weston-Super-Mare, Norton Radstock, Mendips and Taunton. Students increased their confidence and senior grades got the chance to practice refereeing and judging." For more information visit www.bristolkarate.org. Bristol JKA practice at Southville, Yatton, Kingsdown and the University of Bristol. (photo emailed separately)
