JKA England Four Nations Championships 2017

04 November 2017

This year the JKA-Malta National squad flew to Crawley, UK with a junior team composed of 8 young karatekas eager to represent JKA-Malta at the JKA England Four Nations Championships 2017. For most of these kids it was their very first competition and we believe they achieved some stellar results.

Massive Congratulations to the competitors who placed as top finalists in their categories, and Big Well Done to all those who participated in today’s competition. Your training and  efforts were noticed.

Thank you to our friends at JKA ENGLAND and all the organisers for such a wonderful opportunity and for always welcoming us to all the hosted events! We look forward for the next chance to come back and also, invite you to Malta.

We also wish to thank all the parents for their constant support and our sponsors (Cosmoline and OTTO ClubHouse) for helping our little young team succeed! 

And finally big thanks goes to our Chief Instructor Sensei Dario Chircop for his dedication and powerful training that helped us achieve such great results. Looking forward to training harder for the next!
