We are proud to announce that in January 2025, our head coach Sensei Matt Johnson was officially recognised with an award for Kumite Coaching by WKU England for his contribution during the WKU World Championships in Greece 2024.
Mattās leadership, technical expertise, and passion for developing fighters played a key role in the success of the England squad at one of the most prestigious events in the WKU calendar. His ability to prepare athletes not only physically but mentally for the pressures of international competition is something that sets him apart ā and this award is a reflection of the countless hours, experience, and heart he pours into his coaching.
At Oubaitori Karate Club, weāre incredibly fortunate to have such a high-level coach guiding our students, from beginners taking their first steps to fighters preparing for the world stage.
Congratulations, Sensei Matt ā weāre proud to stand behind you!
