Autumn wins Gold to become a British Karate Champion

We recently published an article about the impressive Karate achievements of local Milford on Sea schoolgirl, Autumn Fry. Well, at the end of April in Durham, she won Gold at the British Four Nations Championships to become British Champion 2024 Under 18s Kumite +66kgs.

It was a great day for Autumn and her team mates from TKW Karate. Under the guidance of Sensei Jamie Jewell the club came home with 2 British Champions and 2 Silver Medalists.

After years of hard work, training, and winning medals & championships across the country, earlier this year, Autumn had become the English Karate Champion in her Kumite under 18s weight category. 

She also represents England in the English Karate Federation Junior Female Kumite Team.

Autumn has lived in the village her whole life, having attended Milford on Sea Primary School, and her family certainly have strong Milford on Sea roots having been in the village for over 40 years.
