On Saturday the 14th November we went to the 2nd Karate England National Championships in Sheffield. The competition got off to a late start with parts of the M1 being shut off and preventing competitors arriving on time. Once the competition got underway however, the medals started flying in for Shikon.
There was a lot of tough competition and over 350 athletes taking part, but our competitors again took it in the stride to produce some pleasing results. Shikon again came top of the medals table winning an impressive 24 gold medals, 13 silvers and 18 bronzes.
The medal winners were as follows:
