Best ever results at the BKF 4 Nations

On the weekend of Saturday 28th May and Sunday 29th May 2016 the JKS England team were at Ponds Forge International Arena in Sheffield for the annual British Karate Federation 4 Nations Championships.

The event is British Karate's premier national event attracting the best competitors from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to battle it out under WKF rules.
