What a great day we had at the Drummoyne Public School Fete, the weather was fabulous for the fete. Thank you to all who attended making the demonstration a great success. We had 43 students from KKC Karate with all classes represented from Kinder Karate, Kids Karate and through to the Adults in Kyokushin Karate Club. Also thank you to Sensei Shah from Kuro Obi Dojo Petersham, who once again managed the microphone.

I recently travelled to the UK to attend the Annual British Kyokushin Karate Camp, prior to the camp I trained with Shihan Janine Davies in Wales to get pointers to assist with the Australian IFK Kyokushin team’s preparation for the 4th IFK Kata World Championships to be held in Belgium 2014.
During the trip Shihan Alan Davies from Mountain Ash dojo agreed to host a mini Kata Tournament for my benefit. Pictured below are some of the students from Mountain Ash Dojo Wales. Thank you so much to all at Mountain Ash Dojo you were all so friendly and welcoming, I had a great time in Wales. Osu!
Pictured below are the adults at the annual BKK Camp, this was my 4th time to the BKK camp in as many years and I thoroughly enjoy it, I think the camp just seems to get better every year. It is an opportunity to train with some really talented Karateka and to be taught by some of the best.
Osu & thank you again to Hanshi Steve Arneil who is truly inspiring, Shihan David, Shihan Nick, Shihan Liam & Shihan Alex. Osu!
We had some fun at round 3 AMAC held in Sydney, this was in preparation for the upcoming 4th IFK World Kata Championships to be held in Belgium March 2014.
Whilst it wasn’t a tournament run along IFK Kata rules it gave us competition pressure and experience.
We had Team Jenny, Team Shah and Team Marcel, which finished 4th, 3rd and 1st respectively. Then in the individual Advanced / Black Belt division Sensei Shah came 3rd and I came 2nd. Then in the veterans (over 35years) I came 2nd. It was good fun getting up, but I must admit I really like the team kata, very challenging. OSU!

KKC Karate held a karate clinic for Canada Bay Council’s school holiday program. This was an introduction to karate class for school aged children. We had 35 children participating in what was a great day. Click here to view photos from the day.
Pictured below with me are my trusty helpers on the day Colleen Estigoy, Sensei Shah and Robbie Simmons (behind the camera) Diane Deller. The day was a great success thanks to your help. OSU!
