Francis competes in Europe - ESKA 2025

Francis once again represented Wales internationally, when he competed in Portimao, Portugal at the 2025 European Shotokan Karate-do Championships.

He took part in kata and kumite in both cadet and junior categories. Although he returned without a medal, these championships are of the highest standard, and Francis will have gained invaluable experience from competing against Europe’s finest talent in shotokan karate.

Sensei Richard Poole, president of ESKA, was also in Portugal, overseeing the running of the championships, as well as his role as an international referee.
