A hat-trick of titles for Markwell, and Lund Regan's life long dream accomplished.

/ k2/

37 organisations from 21 countries descended on K2 Crawley, as the British Karate Kyokushinkai hosted the 38th British Open, with one of the toughest line-up in years.

All the more remarkable then that Emma Markwell (BKK Westcroft) on a hot winning streak managed to capture her fourth, and third-in-a-row British title on home soil whilst also securing the fastest KO in 22 seconds.

More home British fighter success as the campaign's poster boy, Leon Lund Regan (BKK Ynysowen) accomplishes his childhood dream at the 8th time of asking by beating world class Russians and Spanish opponents to take the title.

Historic and incredible records were achieved at the IFK World Kata tournament held every four years, which make the records even more remarkable.

Darren Stringer (Team GB) created Kyokushin history by winning the World Kata tournament on three consecutive occasions by pipping his rival Andrey Khimichenko (Team Russia) by 0.1 piont in his final kata Seipai.

KWU World Championship Results

The event was a tremendous success.

The motto ‘ time to be United’ showed the level of cooperation between the organisations was truly remarkable. A total of 52 countries were entered into the event and although around 10 countries were refused visas there was still approximately 250 participants.

Hanshi Arneil has expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the effort made by all participating countries to make sure the IFK was represented in this event and to give the young athletes from the IFK the opportunity to compete in this first event of its kind.
14 weight Divisions with only 5 kilo weight difference meant the fighters could did not have to worry about weight or board decisions so the champions were truly the best fighters.

The IFK were represented at both competitor and judging levels by a total of 19 countries. Armenia, Azerbaijan, Argentina, Belgium, Belarus, Bulgaria, Estonia, Greece, Great Britain, Kuwait, Iran, Ireland, Lebanon, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and USA.

The IFK took an incredible 21 of 41 prizes with IFK Russia dominating with 10 Gold medals and 2 Silver.
