Congratulations to all of the winners it is always hard to choose a few from so many talented and enthusiastic students at KKC this makes my job all the harder as you are all so deserving. OSU!
Also at this event the IFKKA Interclub Tournament Series Champions are announced, congratulations to everyone at KKC as we won 5 of the 11 categories for the year, well done to you all. Also this year makes it 5 years in a row for Robbie Simmons, but Robbie was not satisfied with winning one category this year he has won two; the Clicker Kumite & Kata Category plus the Cadets Full Contact Kumite category, this demonstrates a well balanced approach to his karate and something we should all aspire to. Osu well done!
