National Clicker tournament 2019 - results
On behalf of our association, Thanks to all who helped make Saturdays British Karate Kyokushinkai Clicker Championships a great success. 270 fighters from the B.K.K, non-BKK & Ireland. Continuing to fight semi-contact since our formation in 1965 under the guidance of Hanshi Steve Arneil 10th Dan.
Special thanks to Gareth Jones for all his work in advance and then on the day. The Area Managers Shihans: David Pickthall, Neil Madeley, Felix Ntumazah, Janine Davies, Paul Baker & Andrew Turner and all the un-mentioned officials, without who’s help we could not run the event.
Thanks also to Andy Rotherham & Stuart Wright, Health & Safety & Floor Manager respectively. Abi Rotherham for stepping in as photographer, Shihan Maria da Costa and also the “special few” table officials: Helen Rowlands, Samantha Williams, Francesca Morreale, Peter Frith & Mark Mcillroy.
Lastly thank you to all the fighters, who took success and defeat with equal measure and displayed skill, courage, endeavour and respect throughout.
Osu!

Under 18s success at the 2nd KWU Youth European Tournament, Berlin Germany
On the 18-19th May, Ashley Black and Rhys Meredith from Crawley and Mountain Ash dojos respectively, represented the BKK as part of a unified Team GB alongside two members invited from the IKK (Callum Chapman and Harry Clemo), both regular England and GB squad training attendees.
[L-R] Back Row - Wai Cheung, Meidi Divash, Norman King, Andrew Turner, Alex Kerrigan, David Pickthall, Lia Howlett, Chris Davis
Front Row - Callum Chapman (IKK), Ashley Black, Rhys Meredith, Harry Clemo (IKK)
Both Ashley Black and Harry Clemo scored waza aris in their quarter final bouts to advance to the semi finals. Both lost out in the semi-finals to Russian national champions. There was more top level experience for Rhys Meredith and Callum Chapman who had tough bouts, and can feel pleased with their performances. Twenty seven countries took part and it was also great to have such a strong judging team from the UK.
