Another successful RSA Tournament
in association with BIKO

Renshinkai Southern Academy and BIKO hosted the 7th Lambeth Junior Karate Interclub Tournament (LJKIT) on Sunday 20th March 2005, at the Brixton Recreation Centre. Over 140 competitors competed at this event, which had positive feedback from all the coaches, spectators and competitors. The standard of the both kata and kumite continues to improve, especially from the lower grades.

The competing clubs came from Lambeth, Croydon, Essex, Kent, Northants, Watford, Surrey, East London and North London. The aim of the event is to continually develop the skills of the children from the grassroots level and give them the opportunity to display their skills to a large audience. As a result we can now identify young up and coming competitiors newly arriving in the competition arena. Some of the young RSA Competitiors identified include :

D Walters, A O’Shaughnessy, Shaquille Gray, R Blair, Tianna Norton plus many more.

Competitors had individual kata, team kata, individual kumite and team kumite to choose from. This event was the first attempt for many of the competitors. Once again like last year, the 18yrs to under 21yrs male section, created lots of excitement. All the competitors, coaches, spectators and parents have mentioned that they enjoyed the tournament and will be there next year. We at RSA would like to thank everyone who supported the event.

Thrift Urban Housing, Lambeth Council, RSA and FSA have all contributed to the success of this successful Tournament. The next RSA Tournament will be the Lambeth Karate Open Tournament, which will be held in October. Interested coaches, spectators or competitors should get in touch with Garth Waldropt on (44) 07961 179 389.
