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!

2020 British Open canceled amid Coronavirus concerns

Due to the current pandemic, the BKK have taken the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 British Open on the 3rd of October.

With restrictions in the participation of combat sports still in place in the UK and the uncertainty for the preparation times of the athletes, it was considered the safest course of action.

To all our supporters we hope to see you all in 2021

Osu!
