We are delighted that Adorna (18) from Henbury, Bristol, has been selected to represent Great Britain at the SKIF Karate World Championships.
The SKIF Karate World Championships this year are to be held in Gyor, Hungary, and will take place from 22nd-27th August 2023. The competition itself takes place over 3 days over 25th-27th August weekend with the week prior for an seminar, referee training and competitor registrations.
The SKIF is a major single-style Shotokan Karate organisation with over 100 countries affiliated.
Adorna will be competing in the female 18-19 years categories of Kumite and Kata against the best from each country.
Adorna has trained with us in Bristol since a beginner and is now ready to attempt her blackbelt grading in July (a condition of her placement in the GB squad). She has trained hard the last few years and has had consistent placements in both kumite and kata at the SKIF-GB National Karate championships.
We now have a lot of work of preparations to give Adorna the best chance of success.
August is only a few months away and there will be several courses, competitions and karate squad training sessions for Adorna.
If you would like to support Adorna, we have setup a GoFundMe page to raise funds for her World Championships journey in Karate.
