Poland Tournament Success – A Huge Thank You!

Our Black Scorpion Karate CIC Tournament Squad has just returned from a fantastic international competition in Poland, and we couldn’t be prouder of the team and their accomplishments. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the kindness and generosity of so many supporters, and we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks.

First and foremost, we want to acknowledge everyone who donated to help fund the trip. Special thanks go to the shoppers at Tesco Wigan who dropped their spare change into our collection buckets during our bag-packing event – you truly helped make this dream a reality!

The results speak for themselves, and we are over the moon with how well the team performed:

  • Gold: Harvey & Ethan – Team Rotation 14-15 Ippon
  • Silver: Harvey – Team 14-15 Ippon
  • Bronze: Holly – 14-15 Sanbon Open
  • Bronze: Holly – 14-15 Team Sanbon Rotation
  • Bronze: Holly – 14-15 Under 50kg
  • Bronze: Darcey – Under 8 Kumite

A special thank you to Ethan for stepping in at the last minute to replace a teammate from the English Karate Academy who unfortunately got injured. We’re sending lots of good vibes for a speedy recovery! 💪

We’d also like to give a big shoutout to Lucy and Tyler, who gave everything they had but didn’t medal this time. We’re incredibly proud of your hard work and dedication. You embody the spirit of Black Scorpion Karate, and we’re all rooting for you!

Our squad couldn’t have achieved this without the unwavering support of the parents and families who travelled with us. A special thanks to those parents who also take on coaching duties – you are true stars in our karate family!

We owe a lot of our success to Sensei Sally, our Squad Development Lead and one of the Directors of Black Scorpion Karate. Her leadership and guidance have been instrumental in helping our athletes reach their full potential.

Finally, a massive thank you to our amazing friends at the English Karate Academy (EKA) for letting us be a part of your broader affiliation squad. Your support allows us to compete on the international stage, and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to grow and challenge ourselves.

Thank you once again to everyone who supported us, and congratulations to all our athletes for their outstanding achievements in Poland. Here’s to many more victories in the future!
