WATCH: The Sky's The Limit For Karate King Jack

The sky's the limit for karate king Jack Wilson.

The former Ashton Sixth Form student is heading to World Championships in Turkey on Monday.

He's currently the most successful English athlete in Europe, having medalled most.

Jack's success is all the more impressive given karate is a self-funded sport. In a bid to help him achieve more success, the Carrbrook teenager is appealing to local businesses and generous benefactors for sponsorship. 

 

 

 

We've been speaking to Jack about his journey in the sport and his aims and ambitions for the future.

We've also bee speaking to Sensei Julian Mallalieu, head instructor at Tameside Karate, who joined the England coaching setup in May, about his history in the sport amongst other topics. The full interviews are in the video below:
