Students of the Year
These awards are given to the most deserving students each year in recognition of their achievements, their commitment and attitudes throughout the year.
In 2025 the awards were presented to:
Sensei Martin & Noah
We have members of all ages and abilities and we take great pride in the achievements of our students. Several of our members have and continue to compete in regional, national and international competitions and have brought home various medals, trophies and places.
We believe that much of their success can be attributed to the Driffield Karate Academy and the support and commitment it gives to all its students. We thank them for their dedication and continued support of the club.
