IFK Dan Promotions

We are pleased to announce that Shihan David Pickthall (IFK President) on behalf of the IFK Board announced the following Dan Promotions at K2 on 1st October 2022.

8th Dan

Alex Kerrigan and Liam Keaveney

6th Dan

Paul Baker, Martin Okeleke,

David Jones and John Moulden

5th Dan

Stephen Davies and Wai Cheung

The ceremony of awarding the new grades took place during the official opening of the 44th British Open Knockdown Tournament 2022 incorporating the 12th Cup of Europe at K2 Crawley on the 1st of October.

The event was the largest knockdown championship the BKK has hosted with 270 participants. We hope that the introduction of the youth categories will inspire future karateka. The Cup of Europe demonstrated that this pathway is how BKK will build athletes of the future with their Champions.

Congratulations! Osu!
