Previous Years Results

Previous years competition results are available at the Competition History link.

Although not mandatory for Yoshitaka students there are multiple opportunities for Karate-ka to compete in either Kata (forms) or Kumite (fighting) or both at various levels.

The United Schools of Karate Wales annually holds an internal Kata competition which is a great place to start competing. There are also local/regional and national mixed style championships that Yoshitaka students are encouraged to enter when they are ready to do so. Through the affiliations of the United Schools of Karate Wales all club members can compete in a range of all-style karate competitions at national and international levels.

Many local Karate Organisations also hold championships which Yoshitaka Karate Club regularly supports and if you would like Yoshitaka to attend your competition please do contact us.
