ISKA British Open
ISKA UK held their British Open Championships on 9th November 2008 at Cocksmoor Wood Leisure in Birmingham. The Championships were well attended from all over UK healthy entries in Semi-Contact, in the ring Light-Contact and the ever expanding Forms and Kata divisions.
The competition arena was well planned and professional managed. Admin and the weigh-ins ran smoothly and with little delay the competition got underway.The matted areas started with Kids Semi-Contact on 3 mats and with Forms and Kata for Adults getting under way on mat 4.
The Juniors 13-17yrs kicked off the in the ring Light-Contact using 3 boxing rings. This system works well for ISKA as more and more competitors are doing multi categories and it alleviates clashes in disciplines.The standard of competition was very high with competitors competing fiercely in all disciplines.
ISKA promoters and officials worked hard to ensure everyone had a fair and enjoyable day and were very pleased with the whole event, and judging by the positive feedback received from people who attended, so were they!
ISKA would like to thank all who attended and supported the Championships and also all their officials for their fine efforts.
See you on March 29th 2009 for the National qualifiers for the ISKA European Championships in Rome, Italy in October 2009.
