March 19^th saw the U.K.T.K.F.  annual championships being held in Thornton Cleveleys near Blackpool.

about to begin…

This year, despite the economic climate, saw the biggest Traditional Championships ever, with no fewer than 320 athletes from Northern-Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland taking part.

With over 40 clubs sending juniors, cadets and seniors, it was a very busy day. 6 areas were used all the time, as many more referees and judges had qualified this year,- and gave a great account of themselves. It was amazing, no complaints or disputes were recorded, and it was a pleasure to watch the efficiency of the organizers.

We also hosted a lot of Euorpean visitors from new clubs who have joined Sensei kawasoe since last year. These athletes were of a good standard and won quite a few trophies, good luck to them as they were made very welcome.

All the countries took home prizes, and there were a few surprises from the Juniors, real new talent,  who we hope will expand on their success and enter throughout their careers in Traditional Karate.

Sensei Kawasoe

Sensei Kawasoe was, of course, overseeing the whole event, which was organized by Martin Cracknell in conjunction with our Chief Referee John Errington, and appointment of Steve Kirrelly as Main Referee for the day. Sensei thanked them for the work and effort put in, making this the most successful Championships ever for the U.K.T.K.F.

Our thanks also goes to all the judges, referees and table officials who worked through a long day to ensure the success of this event.

Kenny Taylor has retired  from organizing this event after 20 years, most people agreed with this decision!  Or,- maybe he just wanted to have one last team fight in the senior event?- well, he did anyway, although his team didn’t win. Maybe we could hold a pensioners KATA or kumite event next year ?, “65 isn’t old, just antique”, and as Kenny said:  “I am valuable, but only to myself”. Well done Kenny, Tommy and Dougie, the “baby” of the team at around 40+.

There will be plenty of action to come on our 2 Blog-sites with events and links to Wales and the other two nations. We also had guests from the J.K.A who were impressed at the new look and competition standard, and we will have newsletters printed and sent to every club in U.K.T.K.F. every 3 months, but on the blog-sites you will find updates every month, with gradings and instructors, info of prizewinners, profiles of champions etc. so don’t forget to sign up, as there will be prize draws each quarter for those who sign up to receive all the news throughout Europe and also from Japan.

Sensei Kawasoe would like everyone to try and organize through their own clubs fundraising to send to the JAPANESE RED CROSS.

If you are willing to help in this appeal for the victims of the disaster, please contact Kenny Taylor by e-mail and we can give you details of what/how to do etc.
