Success in Zaragoza

The SEKF Elite squad travelled to Zaragoza in Spain to compete in an International Open tournament. As Spain are world leaders, I selected this competition as a warm up for the world ranking Youth K1's starting in May in Cyprus.

The squad enjoyed an enriching experience spending part of the their time in Madrid staying at Angela's parents house, a typical Spanish environment. They also enjoyed a final training session at European Team Champion 'Fran Salazar's' Dojo, which was a great experience.

I was very proud of all four athletes, especially as they have worked so hard in preperation for this international competition. They conducted themselves with a professional attitude at all times and were also great fun to spend time with. Congratulations everyone!
