England Karate is honoured to announce that the inaugural England Karate National Championships will be held on Sunday 20th September 2026 at the Sports and Wellness Hub, the University of Warwick.

This inaugural event marks a defining moment in establishing a unified national competitive structure and represents a significant step forward in the development of karate within England.

This championship has been created to reflect the highest standards of governance, organisation, and sporting integrity. It will serve as a national showcase for technical excellence, disciplined competition and the values that underpin our art. As leaders within your respective associations, your support and guidance are essential in ensuring that this event sets a strong precedent for future championships under the England Karate Governing Body.

We wish to emphasise that participation is strictly limited to member associations of England Karate. Only athletes, teams and officials registered through recognised member organisations, FEKO, AMA, KUGB and KSE will be eligible to enter. This policy safeguards the integrity of the championship, ensures consistent standards across all competitors, and maintains the professionalism expected of a national governing-body event.

Entry Fees:

• Individual Events: £25
• Team Kata: £45
• Team Kumite: £60

Your leadership is vital in maintaining the quality, fairness and discipline that this championship is intended to embody.

Warwick has been selected for its central location and its suitability for hosting an event of national significance. We anticipate a superb championship that will bring together athletes, instructors, officials and association leaders in a spirit of unity, respect, and high-level competition.

We encourage all member associations to support this historic first championship and to prepare their athletes accordingly. Your involvement will help establish a strong and enduring national tradition for karate in England. Further details and application forms will follow shortly, but in the meantime, would you let Noel Mantock (email: noelmantock@gmail.com) know how many members from your association will be competing?

We look forward to welcoming your association to Warwick for what promises to be an outstanding and memorable event.
