The 2012 Scottish Karate Alliance ( SKA )National Championships were hosted by Sensei Kenny Davis Zanshin Karate Club and held at Kirkintilloch Sports Centre , Glasgow .
With the SKA hosting the 2012 WUKF Senior and veterans Europen Championships 5 weeks later competition for places in the Scottish team was fierce . In the end David Carter retained the male advanced kumite with a repeat of 2011 final against David Gazeley .The only worry at the event was the foot injury to David Woods ,which was initially thought to be broken , turned out to be badly bruised and all three men are looking forward to being in the team for the European?s along with Colin Cuthbert . In the male veterans Murray Grier took the gold ,his first gold andwhat a perfect time to come good .
Rosanne Line won the ladies kumite beating Ashley Gwynne and Carolann Donaghy the ladies veterans
David Carter won the male kata ,with David Gazeley 2nd and david Woods 3rd .Nikki Raeside took first in the ladies kata ,Kirsten Martin 2nd and Jen Black 3rd . Lenbukai ladies won the team kata .
