We look forward to welcoming you to the EGKA Southern Regional Goju-Ryu Karate Competition to be held at the Sir David English Centre in Bournemouth.

We will make an early start this year at 09:00. Mats, chairs and equipment will be arriving at 7:30am. We have just over one hundred entrants this year, and we plan to finish around 2:00pm as we must vacate the main hall by 3:00pm.

Competitors must be on-site and ready to begin at 9:00am. We shall begin with Kata, move onto Team Kata and then finish the day with Kumite. This year we shall be running the adult, cadet and junior classes simultaneously right from the start, allocating groups to mats as they become available.

It is every important that competitors stay in the hall and pay attention to the order of play as the competition progresses to avoid missing their slot. We know the hall can get very noisy and busy with four mats running their own competitions. The organisers will always tries very hard to find any missing competitors, but they can only delay a match for a few minutes. If a registered competitor misses their competition there is unfortunately nothing that can be done about it after the event has been run.

Entry Fees:

We have kept the competition entry fee down to the same as previous years, namely £20.00
Entrants may elect to compete in one of the individual kata, group kata or sparring competitions, or all three.
