“Where freedom of choice matters”
UPDATE ON ENGLAND KARATE
Many congratulations indeed to our Referee, Farouk Younes, who was recently promoted to the rank of Chief Referee by the WUKF.
This well deserved promotion clearly recognises the skills that Farouk has demonstrated in refereeing through his countless experiences of supporting competitions on behalf of FEKO over the many years.

Good afternoon everyone
As you’re aware, the Federation of English Karate Organisations (FEKO) International is affiliated with England Karate and I am a Director on the Board. I thought it would be timely to give you an update on the work we are doing.
England Karate is a non-profit organisation committed to providing an environment built on good governance, high-quality coaching, and transparency. We want to support karate clubs and organisations across the country to grow, develop, and flourish.
For several years now, we have been actively working in partnership with Sport England, and together we continue to make positive progress towards formal recognition as the Governing Body for karate in England. We look forward to being able to announce positive news in this space in due time.
We are also in the process of updating our digital footprint, meaning that we’ll be able to share a list of places you’ll be able to find us online and, hopefully, give you different places to engage with us.
I hope you find this information useful, and I’d love to hear whether you’d be interested in receiving regular updates viA email or a newsletter.
If you have any questions, please do feel free to reach out to me directly.
Kind regards
Noel Mantock
Chair
FEKO International
ANOTHER CUSTOMISED EVENT FOR OUR MEMBERS
Once again FEKO has arranged a customised training event, this time for Sankukai Scotland. The course is in two parts, kumite and refereeing. The kumite training will be led by Charlie Collins. Charlie, who as everyone knows, has been WUKF Kumite World Champion on several occasions, with the most recent being at the WUKF World Championships in Riga.
Leading the refereeing course will be our FEKO Chief Referee, Farouk Younes. Farouk is also a WUKF Chief Referee and has earned the respect of those on the competition circuit for his fair and objective refereeing skills.
Such courses can be organised for any FEKO association. Simply contact Noel Mantock, Chair at noel@feko.co.uk or the Hon Secretary Jim Reece jim@feko.co.uk
