The 27th Annual North v South Championship for Children, Cadets, Juniors & Seniors. Will take place in the:

ROYAL BELFAST ACADEMICALINSTITUTION BELFAST [ INST ]

COLLEGE SQUARE EAST BELFASTon Saturday 3rd February 2018

T his is the 27th year of the North / South Karate Championships and each year the event gets bigger and better. It has no doubt become Irelands premier karate event for children, cadets and juniors. The event now is attracting competitors from outside Ireland. It has been very instrumental in helping our young children gain International and World Medals in Europe and else where.

Again this year we will have the SPECIAL DISABILITY KATA CATEGORY for those with special needs.Also please note extra categories in men’s and women’s kumite to encourage more people to take part (Including over 35yrs section) Your Clubs are invited to take part in the Championship which we hope will be as good a success as last years, in helping the many children of the associations gain valuable experience in karate competition.

Few children experience karate competition outside their own club or association.This gives them a great opportunity to have their own all Ireland open based championship . Conducted under official WKF rules

As usual the championship will be hosted by the Northern Ireland Wado and will take place in

ROYAL BELFAST ACADEMICALINSTITUTION BELFAST [ INST ]

COLLEGE SQUARE EAST Saturday 3rd February 2018 starting at 10am sharp

[ opposite the Black Man ]and two minutes walk from the city hall

Your Club or association can enter as many individuals or teams as they like in each of the events. I hope you will encourage all your young members to take part, to give them this valuable experience and help create a united karate through competition.

I look forward to seeing you in BELFAST for the eventEntries must be received before 20th January 2018

Yours sincerely
