They took home plenty of medals and some valuable experience and practise before the competition season really kicks in.Some of our students will be going for selection/re-selection for the JKS England Squad this Sunday so I'm sure this was a great run out.Well done to everyone, win lose or draw, you are super brave and we are all proud!Huge thanks to Mike Baron Sensei and Gary Pratley Sensei who coached the squad members throughout the day and keeping us up to date.
