Karate Club Juniors Win Gold

Haddenham karate club's junior members successfully claimed four gold and two silver medals at the Tora Kodo Competition in Twickenham recently. They won gold for Junior Team Kata, beating 15 other teams in the event.

Elena won silver for Junior Individual Kata, while Jake and Dylan managed to claim gold and silver respectively for Junior Individual Kumite (sparring).

All the students excelled at the event due to the hard work and training they put in approaching the competition.
