We are incredibly proud to share some exciting news from HAITO Karate!

Our dedicated athletes have been selected for the opportunity to represent England at a European tournament in Sofia, Bulgaria, this November.

This will be a very special milestone for HAITO, as it will be our first European tournament abroad.

Over the years, our students have worked incredibly hard, training regularly and competing from local to high-level tournaments. We have already taken part in international tournaments held here in England, achieving some fantastic results and gaining valuable experience against competitors from different countries.

Now, we have the opportunity to take the next step and compete on the international stage abroad — proudly representing England and HAITO Karate in Bulgaria.

✈️ Help Us Get to Bulgaria

As a non-profit karate club, travelling abroad to compete comes with significant costs. We are raising funds to help our athletes and coaches with the expenses involved in making this opportunity possible.

Funds raised will go towards:

✈️ Flights and travel

Accommodation

Transfers and transport

Tournament-related travel expenses

️ Food and essential costs while away

We are also continuing to prepare and train hard in the lead-up to the tournament.

❤️ Every Donation Makes a Difference

For our athletes, this is about much more than simply competing.

It is an opportunity to test themselves against some of the best karate athletes from across Europe, gain international experience, build confidence and proudly represent their country and club.

For HAITO, it is another important step in our journey as a club — taking the experience we have gained from international competitions in England and bringing it onto the European stage.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help us get closer to Bulgaria. Even £5 or £10 can make a difference when we come together as a community.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing our GoFundMe with your friends, family and social networks. Every share helps us reach more people and gives our athletes a better chance of making this trip possible.

We are incredibly grateful for all the support we have received so far, and we hope you will join us on this exciting journey.
