Shotokan Tokon Karate Club members from Long Sutton and Sleaford came away with a host of medals as they attended the Japan Karate Association England National Championships.
Some 350 competitors from all over England and Wales attended the Crawley event, with Shotokan sending a small team of seven members.
That didn’t stop them making their mark on the event, with a total of five medals – three silver and two bronze – won by the team on the day.
Silver was awarded to Emil Cope for kata and kumite, while Vicky Cope also took second place for kata. Talented nine-year-old Kamil Kulig, who is from Long Sutton, gained bronze in both kata and kumite to complete the medal winners.
