Kingsley School Interclub

So proud of our players and our club referee today!

After much persuasion Sophie agreed to give the competition a go! She did so well, winning bronze medal! First competition for Theo and Sam was his coach, Theo made it very hard for his opponents, he won bronze. Freddie fought hard, was held down and escaped twice! He won bronze. Sam fought in two groups, total of 7 fights altogether! He won both of his first group fights in seconds, gold medal secured. He then fought in a heavier group, losing his first in golden score and going on to win the next two. Pool resulted in a three way tie – Simon decided to give all three gold medals. Eloise refereed all day! She was excellent, confident and really knew her stuff!

British Kata Championships 2023

Alice and Lani entered Senior Kata Championships this year as Alice is too old to be a junior. After being Junior Kata Champions they worked really hard leading up to the Championships. The girls practiced three different Kata’s.

Coach Jeremy, Former Kata World Champion, was hopeful that the girls would medal, was over the moon with their results!

Senior ju-no-kata; bronze
Senior katame-no-kata; bronze
Senior nage-no-kata; silver!

This year so the biggest entry ever (31 senior pairs across 6 kata) and a much higher standard than last year. Jeremy, along with all the other coaches and club are Soooo proud of the girls.
