| Hungary 2009 |
| The team of 24 karateka has seven British competitors included of which two Crawley fighters Sensei Darren Stringer and Senpai Tom Silver have been selected. |
 |
| Both fighters are current British Champions at their respective weights and have performed well enough in 2009 to book themselves seats on the plane for what will surely be the martial arts tournament of the year. |
| They are currently being put through their paces and honing their fitness at the Dojo in Tilgate as they will need to be at their best both mentally and physically in an event that lasts 3 days. |
| After two days of qualifying the top 8 fighters in each weight will do battle for the title in front of an estimated 12500 spectators in the Pap Lazlo arena. |
| With Eurosport covering the tournament we expect the competition to be fierce in this bare knuckle knockdown style. |
