Seishin-Ryu Karate Club enjoyed considerable success in the SKU Premier National Kata Championship.
The Bradford-based group won six gold medals, five silvers and two bronze during the tournament, which was held in Warrington.

Competitors travelled from all parts of the country to participate in the prestigious event.
Each student performed katas, a set combination of karate techniques, in front of a panel of judges within their grade and age divisions.
