The First U.M.A. English Open Junior Karate Championships were a great success,
although the Venue was changed a few Days before, due to the Competitor Entries
being under 100 Competitors, the Championships was still a fantastic success,
and the U.M.A. would like to thank everyone for they're support and
participation of these New and Prestigious Open Junior Karate Championships, and
look forward to seeing you all again soon.
The U.M.A. would like to thank all the Coach's, Competitors, Referee's, Judges,
Officials, Spectators and Supporters alike for making the Championship a
resounding success, it was a great day, the enthusiasm of all the Competitors
and Coaches lifted the roof of at the Community Centre, the atmosphere was great
and electric to say the least with some very exciting and close decisions in all
the Individual and Team Kata and Kumite Events, the standard of the Competitors
was excellent, with many major Junior Players too.
We also had to split one Category and create two Pools as it was massively over
subscribed, and there were 21 from the total of 24 Categories which we ran with
on the Day of The Championships, so although the competitor numbered under 100,
the Championships were still a great success and we still ran 21 Categories in
total on Two Competition Areas throughout the Day.
Yet again, we finished and closed the Championships a little before 4.30pm, so a
Big Thankyou to all the Competitors, Coach's, Spectators, Table Officials and
Referee's and Judges for getting here on time, registering in on time etc, and
for they're help in making the Championships run smooth and on time yet again.
Congratulations to all of the New U.M.A. British Open Individual and Team Kata
and Kumite Champions, Gold Medallists and Title Holders for 2007 who won they're
respective Kata and Kumite Categories at the Championships, and well done to
everyone who took part, without you all, it would not have been the great
success it was.
