Skye kickboxing success for Kara Taylor
Sixteen year old Kara Taylor has achieved her 3rd Degree Black Belt in Modern Karate and Kickboxing. She’s only the fourth to do so and the youngest ever in the association.
She was given the prize at a competition on Saturday 27th June in Portree.
A five hour grading session was judged by Kash ‘The Flash’ Gill who is the founder of the International Freestyle Association (IFA) Kickboxing Club. A four time World Champion, Kash told Radio Skye he’s incredibly proud of Kara.
IFA Skye and Lochalsh is run by Antony Davies who Kash also thanked for his efforts in keeping the sport alive here.
