50th KUGB National Championships - 7th May 2016
In 1966, as Sensei Andy Sherry met with a group of Karate enthusiasts, little did he know that in launching the KUGB, that they would grow into a world-renowned Karate organisation and a benchmark that Karateka around the world would aspire to.
On Saturday, 7th May, the KUGB celebrated its 50th Year at its annual Championship with competitors from all over the UK and Ireland traveling to the Barclaycard Arena, Birmingham.
The KUGB's 50th National Championships is the highest level of competition in the KUGB's home calendar. Alongside a large number of Karateka competing for the first time, there were many highly experienced competitors, including Internationals from the KUGB National Squads and USKF Ireland all keen to win a special 50th Gold Trophy.
The eliminations started promptly at 10am and right from the start the standard of karate was extremely high on all 12 match areas. Every match was fiercely contested as competitors aspired to reach the finals and this helped raise the excitement for the many enthusiastic spectators and coaches.
Once the eliminations were finished, there was a short break which allowed not only the finalists to recharge their batteries, but also the Referees and Judges to get a respite from their very demanding schedule.
The finals started with the National Anthem followed by an introduction of Sensei Sherry, the KUGB's Chief Instructor and Chairman, and senior members of the KUGB.
Sensei Sherry then took time to meet and individually present certificates to those long standing members who had reached the following milestones in their KUGB Karate careers.

Sadly, we were missing one of our 50 year members, Ian MacLaren from York Torashin, due to ill health, but Sensei Sherry will present Mr MacLaren with his certificate once he is fit and well.
The finals began with the Children's Individual Kata and Kumite events. In every final the talent and potential on display was excellent.
Then followed the first of two demonstrations. KUGB England Squad members Jack Somers, Stuart Amos, Sam Light and Jamie Lottering performed an excellent display of Team Kata, followed by Bunkai of the the Kata Unsu.
Later on in the Finals there was a second demonstration by John Bruce, Sam Light and Jamie Allan of Sendai Kushiro who performed a self defence sequence. This showed how exciting and dynamic karate is with a range of kicks, throws and strikes. It also highlighted the art of 'empty hand' self defence against opponents with a weapon.
All of the finals saw outstanding performances with those watching witnessing the depth and strength of the KUGB. Special mention goes to the Senior individual events where the following retained their titles; Holly Sterling in the Senior Female Kata, Rhianne Blundell in the Senior Female Kumite and Joe Rawcliffe in the Senior Male Kumite. A fantastic achievement.
The KUGB has three perpetual memorial trophies presented at the National Championships. These trophies are in memory of three Senseis that helped form and build the KUGB into the largest single style Karate organization in the UK. This year they were presented as follows:
The Sensei Charles Naylor Trophy for most outstanding competitor under 16 years was presented to Abdulrahman Saif from Al Ghazali.
The Sensei Derek Langham Trophy for most outstanding competitor 16-20 years was presented to Nicki Donoghue of St Helen's.
The Sensei Enoeda Trophy for most outstanding competitor Over 21 years was presented to Rhianne Blundell of Halewood.
Sensei Sherry was delighted that the 50th National Championship was a such huge success. Both the number of competitors had grown significantly as had the spectators including a number from overseas (including Australia) who had travelled to be at this special occasion. He was particularly pleased with the strong, spirited attitude and high technical standard of Karate from everyone who competed. He would like to congratulate all of the competitors and also thank the spectators, officials, volunteers, sponsors, medical teams and the staff of the Barclaycard Arena who, together, make this Championship such a prestigious and exciting event.
