The KUGB has run a Children’s event for over 20 years and this year extended the categories to include youths.
Almost 300 competitors, representing clubs from all parts of Great Britain, participated.
The officials were impressed by the very high standard of performance in both the Kata and Kumite
The ESKA European Championships will be taking place in Cadiz in November and the achievements of the medal-winners in the Youth event will greatly add to their chances for selection to the National Squads.
