Huge Congratulations to student Brandon Crowther who has been selected for the Cadet, Junior and U21 European Championships, in Prague, Czech Republic. 

Brandon who will travel as part of the Official England Karate Team will compete in the Junior Male (16-17yrs) Kata category. 

Brandon started training in karate at the age of four and trains under Sensei Simon Crowther seven days a week to constantly improve and work on his technique, strength and stamina, and so we are delighted for both Brandon - and Sensei Simon on his great coaching, that all the hard work is paying off and Brandon has been given this fantastic opportunity.

All of us here at Musuko Karate Academy are extremely proud of Brandon, and we wish him the very best as he continues to prepare for the upcoming tournament in June.  

Musuko Karate Academy would like to extend huge Congratulations to students Brandon Crowther and Lydia Paterson who both won Bronze medals in their respective kata categories at The 4 Nations Championships at Leicester Arena on Saturday 9th April.

Brandon and Lydia who both had some tough competition in their pool rounds, did really well and performed really well throughout.
Brandon was very unfortunate and just missed out on the finals, while Lydia at still only 12 years of age is showing some superb form for the future.

Well done to both Brandon and Lydia and keep up the great work!
