 North East Open, Saturday 20th August, 2023

On one of the warmest days of the month would you rather be outside, or taking part in a karate competition? We decided indoors was the best option and headed down (or up, or across) to Peterlee to take part in the North East Open karate competition: probably the highest level ‘open’ competitions in the region. The competition is held around 3 times a year and attracts karate-ka athletes from all corners of the UK, some of whom compete at national and international levels. For many of the squad, this was their first taste of such a large external competition and was a very memorable, and valuable, experience.

With around 800 entries in various kata and kumite events our small squad did really well and brought home some medals.

Very well done to Lisa (2nd, women’s veterans kumite), Olivia (3rd, beginner to 7th kyu – 9 and under kata) and Callum (3rd, beginner to 4th kyu – 16+ kata; 3rd 18+, <75kg kumite).

Also very well done to Mason, Jacob, Daniel, Matthew and Andrew who didn’t quite manage to place but put on some great performances and enjoyed they day regardless.

We’ll do that one again, I think!
