Sunderland Karate Academy Karate Club Tournament 2009.

 

On Sunday1st November 2009 Lambton Street Youth centre in Sunderland was the venue for the S.K.A. Karate Club Tournament 2009.

 

The event was organised by Derek Laing Chief Instructor of the S.K.A and was sanctioned by Taisho-Do Karate Association (T.A.S.K). The event proved to be an enormous success with around 250 people attending from clubs around the North-east and Yorkshire. The event started and finished on time and using 2 areas the elimination's were able to move quickly, thanks to the tremendous effort of the officials and referees. The competition was run using the W.K.F. Rules and thankfully the first aid people had very little to do apart from watching some fine displays from the competitors. The standard for the day was very high, especially as some of the competitors were competing for the first time.

 

Sunderland Karate Academy would like to thank Sensei Harold Stephenson, T.A.S.K. Chief Referee, for heading the referee team. We would also like to thank Sensei(s) C. Flood, B. Graham, J. Westgarth, M. Raistrick, S. Colvin & D. Leach for marshalling the areas and all the volunteers for making it such an enjoyable day.

Sunderland Karate Academy

Karate Championships.

 

On Sunday 17th of May 2009 the Lambton Street Youth Centre in Sunderland was the venue for this year S.K.A. Karate Championships

 

The event was organised by Derek Laing Chief Instructor of the S.K.A. The event proved to be an enormous success with an excellent turnout from all the S.K.A. clubs. The competition was run using the W.K.F. rules with some changes. The main change was no facial attack rule in the Kumite sections and thankfully the first aid people had very little to do throughout the day. The standard for the day was very high, especially as some of the competitors were competing for the first time.

 

Sunderland Karate Academy would like to thank Sensei John Welsh of Lambton St. Karate Kai, Sensei Dot Leach of Town End Karate Kai, Sensei Steve Colvin of Southwick Karate Kai And Sensei Iweka Otigbah of T’authKa-Do who assisted in the running of the competition and all the volunteers who helped with the all the administration for making it a smooth and enjoyable day.
