Wado Kokusai World Championships

London 2013

After four years in the making we finally saw the Wado Kokusai World Championship come to London. As promised this was one of the most successful competitions in our WIKF history with over 700 competitors from no less than 22 countries from around the world.

WIKF (Wales) took 9 competitors who competed in both Kumite and Kata;

Senior Competitors	Junior competitors
Lydia Stephens - Kata	William Thomas - Kata
Nathan Wood - Kumite/Kata	Billy Alvis - Kata
Adam MaClean - Kumite	Luned Davies - Kumite
Kelly Campbell - Kata	Alexandra Frost - Kata
	Shane Thomas - Kumite

Unfortunately no medals on this occasion, but everyone did extremely well and gave a good demonstration as to the standard of karate in Wales.

 

I'd like to thank everyone in WIKF (England) for a first class event, I can truly say that this was the best organised event I have attended as both a Coach and Judge/Referee.

Until Curacao 2017,

Mark Thomas
