2nd FORZA PREMIER LEAGUE KARATE CUP

This was a massive improvement from our first event in February this year! 🏆

I’d like to say a massive well done to everyone! For many JHKA students, this is your first or second competition and each and everyone of you stepped onto the mat and performed amazingly. I could see lots of nerves around the hall but you all overcome them and did your best. 😊 Those that did not take home a medal, without a doubt have taken home some knowledge and experience to work on for next time. I see lots of my students reach further in the round stages this time and this was a huge indicator of how much we are progressing. Confidence and courage has been amongst you all. I am an extremely proud Sensei 🥋😀

Aaron Johnson-Campbell took GOLD 🏆 in Kata and Kumite 🥇🥇 what a massive achievement to be able to perform and beat all competitors across two separate disciplines! Amazing work Aaron. So proud of your attitude to the sport and your complete focus. Aaron has been training twice a week for some time now and this is really paying off 👏
