JHKA 4th Open Championships 2024 
I would like to congratulate all involved in organising, running and taking part in JHKA’s 4th Open Championships. We held our event in our home dojo, The Forest Row Centre in Collier Row.
By running these events, it’s amazing to see the progress made by all our students that have continued their training over the past few years, we have some brilliantly talented students coming through. If we look back on the year that we have had, we have seen some fantastic results at National and International level, it all starts here at club level.
Well done to all our new students that took part in their first ever competition, I hope you all enjoyed it and learned lots in preparation for next time. A special well done to all the second timers that entered this competition, it’s great to see you all come back for another go and try to improve from your first competition experience. Well done to all students that moved into a new age category, this is where your development can flourish. Every loss is a lesson and every lesson will develop you for the even bigger moments to come!
Congratulations to this years Champions and medallists, we are so proud of you all!

Thanks to Forza Karate Club for supporting the event and to the Forza competitors that took part. I am sure that they all had a fantastic time coming away with 3 golds, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals!!
Unfortunately no athletes from TCB or Frontier School of Karate on this occasion, we hope to see you next year.
Well done to all involved and all that were brave enough to step onto the tatami. It is great to see you all put your karate skills to the test in a competition environment.
Thank you to our senior black belt instructors for helping run this event, Sensei Anthoni and Sensei Hayley. Thank you to the Mat team for helping throughout the day (Senpai Isabel, Senpai Ethan, Senpai Silina, Senpai Kayleigh, Christine, Harry W, Jamie, Rhea, Alisha and Adam).
Thank you to all the students and parents for your support at the competition.
