The SKGB would like to wish our members a happy International Women's Day. Congratulations and thank you to every woman and girl who has started karate this year, continued to improve their karate, dedicated their time to coaching in communities across Scotland, gained qualifications as coaches or officials, or taken part in competitions at home and abroad. We have a wealth of talented women and girls in Karate Scotland who continue to inspire women, men, girls and boys alike - thank you!
Some Karate Scotland highlights include:
Elise Bauld - European Junior Champion!
Neve Ewing - World Combat Games Bronze Medallist!

We delighted to publish the periods and karate report in the Karate Scotland website! You can access the report on the attached PDF document.
Many thanks to everyone who took part in this research.

All pages of the previous website will be automatically forwarded to the same pages on the new domain name, so you should not notice any difference to existing links.
