BASKA SCOTTISH OPEN
Sunday 28th November 2004

The British All Styles Karate Association in Scotland hosted the BASKA Scottish Open, which was held on Sunday 28th November 2004. Graham McCann must be complemented on the organisation of the event.

BIKO had representation at the occasion. The San-gai karate club from Middlesborough, under the leadership of Sensei Andy Finn Jnr had an excellent day, by taking quite a few trophies. I’m sure they had a happy journey back home.

Sensei Peter Ashby from Tomlincote karate club in Surrey made a fearless effort in the kumite section. Maybe a few more competitions might wet his appetite for a future come back to the competition circuit?

Congratulation must also go to Selena Waldropt from Renshinkai Southern Academy (RSA), who has continued to go from strength to strength since she gained her sho dan. This should give her even more encouragement because she nearly completed a double by coming second in both kata and the kumite. Also she has not competed for nine years. All the best to the students who took part and I hope they continue to work hard for the future.
