Some snapshots of Will at the Europeans 💪

Yesterday was by far the biggest achievement in Wills karate career so far. Will got 2nd in his first pool only loosing to the current world champion then went on to make the bronze medal match getting 3rd in his second pool. Will eventually took 5th place at the European karate championships. Not only is this a massive achievement for Will it’s also the highest ranking ever in English karate history for Wills category. This is nearly 10 years of hard work and perseverance. For those that don’t know, Will was training up to twice a day for these championships with sensei Luke. We are incredibly proud of Wills achievement, next step is European/world champion 💪

After a very successful 6 week training camp Will travels to Frankfurt, Germany for the senior European championships. This is the second time Will shall be competing at these championships where he looks to build on his top 10 finish from last year. A massive good luck to Will at these championships (not that he needs it as he’s created his own luck in the dojo) 💪 🥋
