Dear All

At the start of the new year, Sensei Stef Biagioni took a team of 7 athletes and 3 parents to attend the Karate & Relax, and some athletes to the WKF Series A on, 4^th – 14^th  January 2024 in Italy & Greece. The idea was to take a team from 4Ways Dojo to take part in a major International event plus seminar with the world’s best international coaches and athletes Sanctioned by WKF (Karate Olympic body), to get exposure and game time and enhance our skills.

After four day of training at Karate & Relax Seminar in the Alps mountains of Italy, we were lucky enough to be training with 5 WORLD CHAMPIONS and two Olympic medallist, Davide Benetello, Luca Valdesi, Anzhelika Terliuga, Damian Quintero and Gennaro Talarico.

It’s fair to say that this was an absolutely fantastic experience!!! We made new friends, enjoyed new ideas, developed new skills and techniques. Also, we had the opportunity to shared and discuss their experiences as champions etc. 

From there we went to the WKF Series A, Athen, Greece, where Sensei Stef, Silvio and Alessandro competed in the Senior Team Kata and Alessandro in the Senior u75 kumite division. With 892 individual entries and 73 countries made this competition a difficult high level tournament.

With this exposure we can only get better.

Yours Sincerely

Shihan Stef Biagioni
