Competition Training - H.R.H. Princess Fallon Karadjordjevic of Serbia
S.E.M.K.A. is fully committed to ensuring that should students wish to compete they are given every opportunity to do this. Former English Karate Federation (E.K.F.) Kumite England Squad member, H.R.H. Princess Fallon Karadjordjevic of Serbia - formally known as Fallon Rayman - 2nd Dan, visits the club frequently to assist the students. Fallon competed regularly both Nationally and Internationally and has had much success. Her achievements are listed below.
Fallon scoring in a kumite bout at the English Karate Federation National Championships where she became English Champion 2009. From June 2010 until April 2011 Fallon took a break from competing and retired her position on the EKF Kumite 'A' squad in order to concentrate on her 2nd Dan. However, she regained her position on the Kumite 'A' Squad in January 2012 before taking a further break from 2013 - present. Her marriage to H.R.H. Prince Djprdje Karadjorgevic of Serbia has led to taking on other responsibilities within Karate.
