Karate tournaments in the uk...

[ashworth]

Hello, I run a small karate class, and looking around to try and find some more tournament circuits to enter my students in. we are based in Essex so ideally looking for something within a 3 hour driving radius.

does anyone know of any?

thanks in advance

I'm across the pond in the US, so I'm not going to be much help, however I'm sure you'll be asked if you're looking for full-contact/knockdown tourneys or point fighting. Kata, kumite or both? Although all tourneys I know of do both.

Thanks for your reply,

Not looking for full contact, touch or semi contact is fine. point fighting, kata

Sorry for such a slow response Ashworth.

But I'd recommend you get into contact with the British Karate Federation to find out about tournaments. Which would run Karate Only Tournaments.

I believe ISKA/NASKA operate in England, which operate as an All-Style Tournament that welcomes any Martial Art into the mix.
