Congratulations are in order for our sole representative at this year's Australian Open, Tara Dimovski.

Tara has been a part of our dojo since she began karate in 2023 with the late Sensei Peter.

She has been competing in Kumite since July 2024, where she won Gold in her first development level Victorian Karate League competition.

Since then, Tara has won multiple VKL titles, as well as a Bronze medal at last year's Australian Open, and a Silver medal at last year's National Championships.

Today, after overcoming some tough opponents, Tara won a Gold medal at the 2026 Australian Open.

This is Kimekai Berwick's first ever Gold medal at a National level, so please join us in congratulating Tara on this amazing achievement.

Congrats to all our members who competed recently at the Kimekai Club Championships for March. As a dojo, Berwick came away with 7 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. An outstanding effort!

Well done to our Cadets and Adults who successfully graded to their next belt over the past week!

Well done to our Young Samurai who successfully graded to their next belt at the Chelsea Heights dojo last week!
