Karate

Whether you practice this ancient form of self defence individually or in a team, become the modern day karate kid in the BUCS karate programme.

Traditionally, the BUCS Karate Championship has both individual and team championships. 

There are two different types of  karate competitions that students take part in: 

  • Kata -  this has three different levels dependent on students experience
  • Kumite -  this is based on students weights and experience.

The BUCS Karate Championships 2023-24 will be part of BUCS Nationals held on 24th-25th February 2024 at Ponds Forge, Sheffield.

Students can also compete internationally and represent the GB Students team at the World University Championships. 

Qualification for European University Championships:

This event will be used as qualification for European University Championships 2023. The top 2 finishers in each category will automatically qualify with further qualification subject to National Governing Body approval. The top two finishers will have to confirm their attendance within 7 days of event completion. Institution approval will be required. 
 
Further information will be provided in the Event Guide.
