About Dokan Northern League

The Dokan Northern League is a series of three grassroots competitions throughout the year, with two being held in the North East and one in Yorkshire, alternating each year. The aim of the league is to promote grassroots karate development and provide a stepping stone into larger competitions. The categories are designed around children and novice starters, but also offer high grades opportunities to compete locally.

A database is kept of every entry from every club and a point system put into place. A win (gold) is 3 points, a silver two points and bronze one point. These points are awarded to the club and an individual tally will also be kept. We will have a league table that carries on through all three tournaments and at the final comp the most successful club will be crowned Northern League Champion. Entries should be made under individual clubs rather than associations.

In addition to the Club Champion, there will also be a most successful kata trophy and most successful individual trophy for the students that amass the most points in the respective disciplines. These are individual points there will be no personal points for teams.
