Cayman Associated School of Karate is still thriving under the leadership of Shihan Greg Reid who has grown the club from humble beginnings to internationally acclaimed over two decades.
Through his diligence, Reid got CASK back with the World Karate Federation, the Pan American Karate Federation and the Commonwealth Karate Federation several years ago.
“We now have a national association called the Cayman Islands National Karate-Do Association (CINKA) which is non-profit and recognised by the Cayman Islands Olympic Committee,” Reid said. “So CASK is now the only member school of that association for the art of Traditional Japanese Karate-Do in the Cayman Islands.
“Through the national association we have been travelling extensively and moving up on the podium and medal standings.”
Team CASK recently competed at the Orlando Open where they won two medals. Lucas Jackson won a bronze in 16-17 Boys Elite Kata and Jefferson Jacob, a para-athlete, won a silver in Kata.
The win for Jacob and the Cayman Islands was historic as he is the first para-athlete to ever represent the country in karate. The Orlando Open is one of the most prestigious and largest championships in the US. CASK next compete in the Suzuki Cup in Dallas, Texas in December.
