Sports Club was the setting for Saturday's (October 26th) South West Region Karate Championships, which was entered by a number of local students, reports the Herald Express.<\/p>\n<p>Categories for adults and children of all abilities and experience were available, in addition to a pool that was designed to give students the chance to try karate for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>A number of different events were on offer to those who attended, including Kata (set forms of karate) and Kumite, which is effectively a sparring competition.<\/p>\n<p>All of the money raised &ndash; whether it came from the participants themselves or people who attended to watch the contest &ndash; was handed to Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n<p>The charity works to support ex-servicemen and women who have sustained mental
