Today, Kyle stepped onto the tatami to compete in the WKF Youth League in Poreč, Croatia.

Everyone at the club is incredibly proud of the hard work, dedication and commitment you've shown to earn this opportunity. All those hours of training have paid off, and it's fantastic to see you representing your country on the international stage.

To top it off, Kyle even featured on the official WKF Instagram highlights reel!

No matter the result, competing at this level is a huge achievement and an experience to remember.

Congratulations, Kyle – we're all proud of you. Enjoy every moment! 👏🥋

A fantastic day at the JKS Scotland National Championships and some outstanding performances from our competitors.

Between them, our competitors brought home an impressive 13 medals across kata and kumite events.

Beyond the medals, what stood out most was the way everyone supported and encouraged one another throughout the day. Whether competing, officiating, or cheering from the sidelines, there was a real sense of teamwork from start to finish. It was great to see competitors celebrating each other's successes, helping one another through challenges, and representing the dojo with respect, determination, and sportsmanship.
