• 🥉 Petra Williams – 3rd place, Senior Women’s Kata

• 🥇 Phil Barrett – 1st place, Men’s Clicker

The team was expertly coached throughout the day by Sensei Garry Haines, whose guidance and encouragement helped the competitors perform at their very best.

We would also like to congratulate the students from MOKKO’s Barking Dojo on their achievements, and extend our gratitude to Barry Kyokushin for the warm invitation and excellent organisation of the tournament.

It was a fantastic day of karate, teamwork, and friendship – a true celebration of the Kyokushin spirit. Osu!
