The KUGB held its National Youth Championships on July 4th at the Queens Park Leisure Centre in Chesterfield.
The event for under 21 year olds was very well attended, with many terrific performances in both Kata and Kumite.
The high standards bode well for the continued strength of the KUGB’s future national squads.
Many thanks to our officials and helpers who always do an outstanding job in running our events. Results below:
