Double Silver at the Shotokan Cup
Awesome result for Meleri for getting Silver in both the girl’s kata and kumite events. Well done indeed! Also well done for Steve Bailey for narrowly missing out on the boys kata finals, hoping you get the luck you deserve next time, eh?
Most of the videos were accidentally recorded in slow motion. Great for analysing detail but not so good to watch. If anyone fancies converting them to normal speed let us know

National Youth Championships, Chesterfield
Well done! to Meleri, Steve B and Anya, who competed at the National Youth Championships in Chesterfield on Saturday 3rd July. They all performed well, and came away with even more medals and trophies! Meleri righted a wrong from the Welsh Champs, repeating the same kata and winning gold in the individual girls black belt kata. Anya did well in the individual girls brown belt kata, taking silver after narrowly missing out on gold by only 0.1 point, and the team kata were narrowly beaten in the finals, winning themselves a 3rd place and some bronze medals. Steve missed out on a place in the individual boys black belt kata after losing in the eliminations against some very strong opposition.
