Brandon who is 13 years of age, and lives near Chorley, Lancashire started his karate journey at the tender age of four after watching his brother training in the art of karate. Brandon who trains with Musuko Karate Academy trains five -six times a week, but practices at home every single day.

Brandon is currently the English National Kata Champion for his age group 12-13 year old boys.

After a gruelling two session selection process - one in London and the other in Yorkshire, Brandon was successfully selected to represent England both in individual kata and team kata.

Karate has been chosen to feature in the Olympics in Japan for the first time in 2020 but continues to be a self -funded sport. To get to represent England in August will cost in the region of £1000.00 so we are trying to help Brandon fulfil his dream of representing his country in Helsinki.

Thank you for reading this story - and all donations no matter how small will be massively appreciated by Brandon and his family.
