Competition results from the recent Central Regions, BUSA and Kyu Grades championships are now up (see links below), as are eight new photo albums and a whole host of new videos (see our new YouTube channel for our complete collection of videos).

Yesterday the CUKC Varsity squad showed enormous spirit and courage in defeating Oxford for the second year running, this time away at Iffley Road. Cheered on by a huge crowd of Cambridge supporters, the Men's A and Men's B teams each brought home their respective trophies, together with the Enoeda Cup, while the Women's match ended in the first ever dead heat. Despite fielding a more experienced team than last year, Oxford were unable to overcome the might of a Cambridge team that boasted members of the English and German national squads and EUSA team kata medalists. The squad are now looking forward to the two remaining competitions this term, KUGB Central Regions on 8 March and BUSA on 15-16 March.

A report and photos of the club's recent tour to Japan are now on the KUGB website.

The CUKC squad travelled to Chesterfield on Saturday for the first competition of the year, the KUGB Student National Championships, and kicked off the season in style by winning another big haul of medals. New squad member Roman Sztyler wowed the crowds in the dan grade kata final with a classy performance of Unsu that easily won him the gold medal, while elsewhere the team of Tom Johnson, Ian MacLeod and Paul Smith won both the team kata and the men's team kumite events.
