We are pleased to announce we’re supporting Kayah Michorczyk in her aim to compete at the WUKF World Karate Championships in Dundee next month.
Kayah, from Gorleston, is seven years old and her parents are amazed at her achievements, especially being appointed to the World Karate Championships after only one year of competing with her club, Phoenix Karate Schools. The school holds classes in the Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft areas and the club’s Parents Fundraising Committee regularly organises fundraising events to enable their members to compete, such as in the European Competition in Italy.
The Kenshin Karate Organisation competition squad is supporting Kayah with her entry fees and we are delighted to support Kayah with funding towards kit and equipment, which is compliant with the World standard competition rules. This includes specially developed uniform, including Kata Gi and Kumite Gi, and KKO team tracksuit; plus a chest guard; head guard; shinpads; white and red mitts; and mouthguards.
Kayah is so pleased to have received funding: “It will allow me to represent England and Kenshin Karate Organisation at WUKF World Karate Championships in Dundee. I can inspire the children to join not only karate but any other activities in our community. I am proof that small towns and clubs have the same opportunities to be part of some worldwide projects.”
For the latest news on Kayah, visit Phoenix Karate Schools’ Facebook page and their website plus the Phoenix Karate fundraising Facebook page.
We wish Kayah amazing success for the World Championships and for her future. We look forward to seeing her progress along the way.
If you are part of an amazing sport or leisure team and would like to apply for up to £500 of funding, we are taking applications for awarding in September 2023.
