The summer of 2015 seems like a long time ago now but 1,400+ athletes from 37 different countries came together to compete for one of the most prestigious titles in our sport… WAKO European Champion!

The 2015 Wako European Cadets & Juniors Championships took place in San Sebastian, Spain on 22-30 August.

Our senior instructor Chris Collymore is a coach for the Cadets and Juniors GB squad and aswell as coaching, was our roving reporter for the week and covered the event for the GB team.

You can read his article in February’s edition of ‘Martial Arts Illustrated’ magazine available in shops or online.

We look forward to his coverage of the Seniors World Championships in Dublin too where he came back as World Champion!
