Renshinkai Southern Academy
28th March 2004


Renshinkai is still a fighting force.

Once again Renshinkai Southern Academy (RSA and BIKO) hosted the 6th Lambeth Junior Karate Interclub Tournment (LJKIT) on Sunday 28th March 2004 at the Brixton Recreation Centre. Over 160 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.

There was also a demonstration of IAIDO (Traditional Swordsmanship) given by Dave Hart 5th Dan and his son Dave Jnr.

The Interclub Trophy went to RSA, gaining 171 points, second place was Beckenham Renshinkai (113) and third place was Ilford TKO (81). There were many exciting fights during the day, but the best of all came in category 36, the final of men 18 years to under 21 years. This was a match between Adrian Williams (Beckenham Renshinkai) and Nathan Thompson-Smith (RSA). This match had the crowd on their feet with excitement. Although Nathan fought extremely well for his first competitive fight for 10 years, Adrian was too experience and strong for him on the night and won the final 7 points to 3 points. Renshinkai has shown that it is still the fighting force it was many years ago and there are many up and coming stars of the future.

Lambeth Endowed Charities, Thrift Urban Housing, Sport 4 Lambeth, Lambeth Council, Leisure Connection and FSA have all contributed to the success of this successful Tournment. The next RSA Tournment will be the Lambeth Karate Open Tournment, which will be held in October at the Brixton Recreation Centre.
