On January 18, the Karate Section held its first sparring competition of 2026.
Thirteen enthusiastic children participated under the guidance of Master Marietta (4th Dan) and Sardah (orange belt). After reviewing some basic techniques, the competition continued with kata and sparring. Competition took place in three categories based on belt rank, with the overall winner of the day also being determined.
We congratulate the day’s winner: Eelis.
Second place was shared by Rosalie, Olivia, and Julius, who tied on points.
All the children can be very proud of their progress in karate techniques. Of course, plenty of new stripes were also awarded, which now visually reflect this progress:
- 5 yellow stripes
- 5 orange stripes
- 2 blue stripes
- 2 brown stripes
We’re already looking forward to the next sparring day!
