We have over the next month fighters from our dojo competing in Switzerland representing Great Britain. Good luck to Daniel Small & Jordan da Costa as they endeavour to continue their international careeres with distinction. We also have an adult team representing Newbury Park at the clicker championships along with some individuals in the kata. Shihan Nick gives his apologies for not being able to organise the entries as they should have been done, but hopes you understand his absence has affected this.
