Congratulations and thanks to all those who took part in this Kumite competition. It was obvious to all our Karate instructors that the hard work has been paying off with evident improvement among many of our karate students.  The discipline and sportsman ship was to be admired.  The event ran very smoothly and everyone enjoyed the occasion in a safe and well planned competition. The hard work now continues with our Masters Course planned for the weekend before Christmas. All students are encouraged to take part in this unique weekend of karate.  Here are the results of the NKI nationals Kumite championship held on Sunday 3rd of November 2019.

Another good year.

Welcome to our new website which has been on the cards for a while. It's 2019, and things are changing. This website is no different.  We have also moved to a new, easy to remember web address at Karate.scot.

This year our club has continued to build on its successes and made yet another impressive haul of medals at the end of April at the Northern Ireland Open in Belfast.

After lots of hard training under the careful supervision of chief Instructor (Ronnie Watt 9th) and squad coaches (Jock Calder 6th Dan & Reeve Watt 5th Dan ) the NKI Scotland team took home 18 medals 3 Gold, 7 Silver and 8 Bronze

Not easy for a small self-funding club but a proud moment for Scottish Karate and Aberdeen.

The Championships began with a special training session specifically for the referees and judges on the specific techniques and criteria to be considered and assessed during the championships. 
Chris Davidson 4th Dan Manager of the Squad of 11 members also refereed at the championships. Chris is one of the senior executive club members and trains four times a week, and he is also a fully qualified referee. No easy feat!
It’s been a great year so for the squad having won so many medals at Belfast.

Preparations are now underway for the next festival the club are hosting in Aberdeen in September with a visit of four guests from Nagasaki and the Nationals in November.
NKF came joint 3rd in the number of medals won out of 14 squads.
