We’re running a mini competition on 11 October 2026. This will be an informal competition for those who are thinking about participating in the competitions in November or who just want to try it out. This will be a low key, low stress environment: there won’t be the usual number of referees and judges, there won’t be mats and there won’t be draws or heats. Just come along, practice your kata and kumite/jukuren and get feedback on the spot from the ref/judge.

This will be ideal practice for those who are looking to compete or grade soon. In fact, for those who want to participate at the competitions in November or who want extra practice before their next grading, come to our Bootcamp which we’re running every Wednesday evening during October 2026.

Sunday 11 October 2026, 1400-1700
