What a weekend!
Last Sunday, 8 March, the JKA England Central and Northern Regional competition took place at the University of Bedford. All the students worked so hard in the lead up to the weekend, they all trained consistently and gave it everything. All Sensei Miranda has ever asked of any student is that they give it their best so they can be proud, no more than that. Harpenden JKA is incredibly proud of them for just being them.
Sensei Miranda spent the day keeping the mats on time and running as they should so under the watchful eye of Coach Sensei Susie and her usual suspects of volunteers we took a team of 34 and the results were glorious! 🥇🥈🏅🏅🏅
