We would like to say a big thank you to all the clubs who have registered and completed their Phase 1 entries. Your support is truly appreciated and helps us continue building a great event for everyone.

At the moment, we have 315 entries from 22 clubs, which is fantastic to see.

If any clubs would still like to add more competitors, entries will remain open at the Phase 2 entry fee for one more week. After that, from 30th May to 7th June, the Phase 3 entry fee will apply.

Please note that if we reach our competition capacity limits, entries may close earlier than the final deadline, so we kindly encourage clubs to complete any additional registrations as soon as possible.

As mentioned previously, this year we will be running the competition on 5 areas only, allowing more space and a better experience for competitors, coaches, and spectators.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all on Sunday 21st June and sharing another great day of karate together.

Thank you again for your support.

We are pleased to announce that we have added two new categories to our upcoming competition:
🔹 Male Para Kata
🔹 Female Para Kata

As a club and organisation, we strongly believe in inclusion and in giving every athlete the opportunity to participate, enjoy the experience, and showcase their abilities in a positive and supportive environment.

In previous competitions, we unfortunately did not receive many Para Kata entries. However, we would still like to offer the opportunity for Para athletes to take part and feel welcomed within our event.

Should we receive a higher number of registrations for Para Kata, we may contact the clubs directly and divide the categories accordingly, following the WKF Para Karate Rules to ensure fairness and appropriate classification.

We would greatly appreciate your support in encouraging eligible athletes to participate and helping us continue to grow inclusivity within our competitions.

Thank you once again for your continuous support, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to another fantastic event.
