2025 WUKF Karate World Championships

Donation protected
Hi, I have set up a go fund me page to help with funding and support for upcoming karate competitions, including the 2025 WUKF karate World Championships taking place in Malmo, Sweden in July.

I started my karate journey at just 5 years old, and 17 years later, I am a part of the Karate England team for both Kata and Kumite.

This competition season has been my best one yet! After earning my 3rd Dan Black Belt in September, the following week I went on to achieve a bronze medal in open weight ippon kumite, a silver medal in under 60kg sanbon kumite and a gold medal team kumite at the GB Open. I then went on to win a bronze medal at the European Championships in October. In February, I had my best competition so far coming away with 2 x gold medals in ippon open weight kumite and team kumite and a silver medal in under 60kg sanbon kumite at the Karate England International Open Championships. Most recently, I fought at the British Open (European Tour) where my team mates and I achieved a bronze medal in team kumite, just missing out to the current world champions. Individually, I narrowly missed out in the quarter finals to the current 2 x European champion, only losing 6-5. I fought this same competitor in the European Championships in Poland where I lost in the semi finals 6-1. This only shows my determination and consistent improvement throughout the year and believe if I was matched with her again I could win for sure this time round!

I have great determination and a positive mindset, and with attending 4+ training sessions a week, I am hoping to be walking away with medals this year. It would be amazing if I could finish the competition year with a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP medal, especially in individual categories!

I am hoping to raise funds to help with the cost of travel, accommodation and competition fees.

If anyone/company would like to sponsor me for competition gear, travel costs, fees, etc, please feel free to reach out as it would be greatly appreciated!!

Any donations will make all the difference, no matter how small, I would appreciate. If you’re not able to donate, I would be grateful if you could share this post and support my journey. Thank you for reading and for your support xx
