The 2023 Walsall Karate Dojo Championships

On Sunday 22nd October we held our fifth annual karate championships for club members only. The objective is to create annual club champions, give inexperienced competitors a chance in familiar surroundings and raise funds for our squad who represent us regularly at events around the country.  This was the first event since before the pandemic.

The event was a huge success yet again with 111 club members taking part raising a total of £1,998 to put into the squad fund. There were some superb performances from many club members on the day. All results are listed below.

Many thanks to all officials, coach, helpers, competitors and spectators for making the day so special.
