Gold Tally 2 - Congratulations An
Eltham-based team has come home triumphant
from the karate junior European championships.
The team, which trains at the Lionel Road Community Centre in Westhorne Avenue, won two gold and three bronze medals at the championships in Hungary.
The championships were attended by 42 federations from 23 countries with 1,490 competitors.
The Lionel Road club, the England Shotokan Karate-do Federation (ESKF), is now ranked as the second strongest in the country, the product of hours of training by club members.
The winners were:
Gold Samer Jaher (17), Kawa Amiry (14), Kanishka Amiry (13) & Kai McLaughlin (13) Team kata, Cadets Black belts
Gold Kawa Amiry Individual kata, Children Blue to brown belt -
Bronze Samer Jahar, Individual kata
cadets - Black belt
Kai McLaughlin, Individual kata Children black belt Isabel Barber (8), Individual kumite Children 7-9 years old
The team was headed by chief instructor Sensei Essam Shreif.
Club owner Erica Francoise said: “With
these results, ESKF is now the 2nd best team in the United Kingdom. It also boasts being the only Club in the United Kingdom in the history of karate to get a gold medal in team kata in any European or World Karate Championships.
“Sincere thanks go to Sensei Essam Shreif and our referee Sensei Ken McLaughlin but most importantly, to the children themselves who trained so hard for this competition, and to their parents who paid for the trip.”
This is the fi rst time that the Club participates in such a high level European competition organised by the World Union of Karate-do Federation (WUKF). When the club travelled to Poland and the Czech Republic in 2010 in competitions organised by local Federations, it lifted four bronze medals from each of the competitions.
