SSKC Competition 2013

Above: The cups, medals and certificates

There was a great turn out for 2013 with  170 competitors in all 75% up on last year a true reflection on how JKS England is growing. A time for karateka from our local (and not so local) clubs to experience competition in a semi formal atmosphere and use the experience as a stepping stone to national and international events.

A fundraiser for Mike and Ian Sensei from HSKC

On Sunday 7^th April, over 70 karateka gathered at York University for a ‘Special’ Karate Course. HSKC had arranged for Alan Campbell, Scott Langley, and Rob McCartney Sensei to provide the instruction.

The course was split into two sections. Sensei Alan took the adults and senior grades for the first session on Junro Shodan, focusing on correct turning and spinning on the heel or ball of the foot. He then handed over to Sensei Scott who focused on the two handed simultaneous block and attack moves in Junro Nidan.

The class was completed by sensei Rob showing lots of applications to Heian Sandan. There was certainly a lot of discussion after each session about what had just been covered, and a lot of people practicing some of the moves to make sure that they would not forget them – always the sign of very engaging, useful and motivating instruction!

Meanwhile the Junior karateka were put through their paces by Paul, Lorraine and Jim Sensei. The first hour consisted of warm up games – designed to increase their concentration and attention. For the second session Sensei Paul had arranged for Kat, one of the Olympic torch bearers, to talk to the children about her experience of carrying the Olympic torch, and there were lots of games based around the campaign for Karate to be in the 2020 Olympics. Things got (a little) more serious in the final session when we had a kumite based competition for the children. There were several rounds of ‘grab the tag’ –

where you have to grab the ribbon in your opponent’s belt whilst protecting your tag – ideal practice for real kumite (and the upcoming Selby Competition!). Medals were awarded for the top competitors by Sensei Alan.

Kat’s endless patience in giving absolutely everyone who wanted the opportunity to have their photo taken with her and her Olympic torch was rewarded when Sensei Paul surprised her with a cheque from the Selby Karateka who has done nearly 60,000 sponsored karate technique in order to raise money to help Kat with her sports training.

Seibukan Childrens Competition

This was the first year that we have taken a team to the Seibukan children's competition in Nottingham. The club had booked a coach for the day so we could travel together.
I sensed a mix of excitement and apprehension from team SSKC : Liam and Rose Dunne, Berhan Harker, Sam Barfield, Lydia Gutherie, Harrison Kirk, Emily Crockford, Heath Waters, Leah Fielding, Joshua Whiteley, Charlotte Haxby, Bradley and Lewis Urwin, Wiktoria Rymarz, Ibrahim and Imaan Ahmad, Myles Phillips and Phoebe Culpan.
Our aim was not to go and win, but to just to take part and provide our karateka with a positive competitive experience. This was achieved and even our younger less experienced members who are just learning their first kata enjoyed the day. Just watch the montage of photos to get a flavour of the success.


We also came away with a few medals, 2 x Gold, 4 x Silver and 1 x Bronze, the results of the events that we medalled in are listed below:
