Happy International Women's Day!

Karate Scotland board of directors would like to wish our members a happy International Women's Day.

Congratulations and thank you to every woman and girl who has started karate this year, continued to improve their karate, dedicated their time to coaching in communities across Scotland, gained qualifications as coaches or officials, or taken part in competitions at home and abroad.

Some of many highlights include:

• Elize Bauld - World junior silver medalist!

• Mia Ewing - European cadet bronze medalist!

• Amy Connell continues to develop the WKF Guardian Girls programme.

We have a wealth of talented women and girls in Scottish karate who continue to inspire women, men, girls and boys alike - thank you!
