This past weekend saw a contingent of WBK students in action at the British University Championships, held at Ponds Forge in Sheffield. In addition to our usual representation via the Swansea University Club, we also had students representing Cardiff and University of South Wales.
These Championships have always been contested by some first class Karate-Ka and this year was to prove no different. Well done to all of our students on your performances.
Swansea Uni:- Senior Men’s Team, Senior Ladies Team, Sam Mason (Men’s Novice), Lai Yan (Ladies HW), Meleri Pryce (Senior Ladies MW) —– all achieving 4th placing in Kumite
Cardiff Uni:- Amy Nicholas, (Senior Ladies Kumite) – 3rd Rd – Narrowly losing out on progressing further.
University of South Wales:- Nic Hole, winning Silver in the Men’s Senior Kumite (-60kg). This is a fantastic achievement for Nic, who automatically qualifies for the European University Championhips, to be held in Croatia in July.
Congrats to all involved … Apologies if I’ve missed anyone out.
