Regionals

The regional structure has been carefully put together as a development pathway between club/association towards the national team. It will be a place to develop your techniques and tactical abilities, knowledge and has opportunity to be talent identified and nurtured onto the National squad.

Regional squads will be open to only to those who are 5th Kyu & above amd a minimum age of 10yrs. This ensures all attendees have a basic standard of Karate and are grading at their clubs.

All athletes will have to select in order ‘to get onto’ the regional squad and compete to stay on the squad.

Only athletes with a valid EKF licence can register. If an athlete is selecting they must be in possession of a full British Passport and reside in England. If you have represented another country or represented one of the other home nations then WKF rules apply.
