Congratulations to all the Forza students that attended the JHKA 3rd Open Championships in Romford on Saturday 13th May.
I would like to congratulate all involved in organising, running and taking part in JHKA’s 3rd Open Championships. They held the competition for the first time ever at The Forest Row Centre in Collier Row.
By running these events, it’s amazing to see the progress made by all our students that have continued their training over the past year since they last held this event in May 2022. If we look back on the year that we have had, we have seen some fantastic results at National, International and Commonwealth level. It all starts here at club level at both the Forza and JHKA events.
Well done to all our new students that took part in their first ever competition, I hope you all enjoyed it and learned lots in preparation for next time. A special well done to all the second timers that entered this competition, it’s great to see you all come back for another go and try to improve from your first competition experience. The more experience the better. Well done to all students that moved into a new age category, this is where your development can flourish. Every loss is a lesson and every lesson will develop you for the even bigger moments to come!
Finally, I would personally like thank the helpers of the competition that jumped in last minute when our officials were unable to attend the event final minute, my since thanks goes to our students
