WKF Karate1 Series A Salzburg 2026 🇦🇹🥋

Parham finished the Series A with three wins from four fights, reaching the Pool Final before a very narrow 2 - 3 loss.

Round 1 ✅ 4 - 2 🇰🇿 KAZ
Round 2 ✅ 6 - 4 🇫🇮 FIN
Round 3 ✅ 2 - 1 🇳🇱 NED
Round 4 ❌ 2 - 3 🇪🇸 ESP

We’re not satisfied with the result.
But we’re incredibly proud of the performance.

Competing at this level is never easy. Behind every competition are the training, hard work, stress, uncertainty and everything that can happen outside the tatami.

This one had a particularly difficult lead-up, but Parham found the determination to step out there and fight.

At a World-level competition with more than 1,200 athletes from 82 countries, he gave his all in every round, despite everything, and made no excuses.

That's what we're most proud of.

A huge thank you to everyone at Bravo and the team for all the support and for continuing to push each other.

Thank you to Parham's family, and also to , whose work and support were an important part of his journey back in Iran,
and to for helping keep our athletes healthy and ready for competition.

The work continues 🔥🥋

UGUR AKTAS UK SEMINAR 2026 🥋🔥

What an incredible weekend.

It was an immense privilege to host .aktas aktas and learn from his knowledge, experience and approach to kumite.

We kept the seminar numbers smaller to create a high-quality learning environment, allowing everyone to get the most from the experience.

The attention to detail, depth of knowledge and understanding of high-level competition were exceptional.
But what truly made the weekend special was Ugur himself, humble, approachable and always willing to share.

A fierce competitor on the tatami, yet a genuinely kind person off it.

Thank you to everyone who travelled from different clubs and areas to join us and help create such a positive atmosphere throughout the weekend.

More photos and videos to come ✌️

Proud of our team last weekend at the North East Open Karate Championship 🥋

A small group from our Squad, from first-time competitors to experienced athletes.

Our newer competitors showed great courage and supported each other throughout.

Strong performances across Kata, Kickmaster and Kumite:

🥉 Tate Lyons • Kickmaster
🥈 Keelen Chandler • Kumite +50kg
🥉 Keelen Chandler • Kumite Open

A great experience for everyone, and a big adventure to Sunderland for the youngsters 😁✌️

Thank you to all the parents for the support 🙏

And a big thank you to the organisers, staff, referees, judges and medics, a very well-run event.

March has been a busy month for us, from grassroots to elite level 🔥

Sweden, Slovakia and now Sunderland 🇸🇪🇸🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Great performances, but most importantly, clear progress and development across the whole Squad.

More to come,
