In order to take National Association Coaches and National Club Coaches (for those clubs with EKF Club Membership) through the 2 documents, we will be holding a workshop on Saturday 29th June 2019 10:00am – 2:00pm. The workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss the documents and importantly Coaches will be taken through the ‘Fighting Fundamentals’ as set out in the EKF Performance Framework document. We will also take the opportunity to reflect on progress made since the 27th October 2018 National Association Coaches meeting.
The implementation date for the new criteria is planned for the 1st August 2019.
The location of the meeting will be confirmed and will be held within the Midlands Region.
To register to attend or for further information please contact the EKF Squad Administrator Isla Hall on 07971361944 or email performancedirector@englishkaratefederation.com. Attendance confirmation will need to be received no later than Friday 21st June 2019.

Today we have launched the campaign #Karate2024 on social media to demonstrate our unity and to request our inclusion in the programme of the 2024 Olympic Games.
Your support for the success of this campaign is crucial. For this, I kindly ask you to distribute this campaign among all your affiliates and clubs. Please, send them this information so that all the karatekas in your country can publish their videos and photos participating in the challenge #TsukiForKarate2024.
In this way, we will not only showcase our unity but also how strong Karate in your country really is. I am sure that with your collaboration, we will achieve our goal of being in Paris 2024.
