We tested the mettle of our younger dojo members with a Junior Grading.
Watching them all get red faced and sweaty giving everything their little bodies have to offer warms the soul.
Congratulations on those new belts and colours you little champions.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of one our instructors.
We were very fortunate to inherit Sensei Kathy Nunn when the family moved north from Mt Gambier to the Gold Coast.
She was a yoga, Pilates and Win Hoff instructor and loved to mix up our training with aspects from these varying disciplines. Much loved by our dojo, she will be sorely missed. π
She shared that her dream was to complete her Yondan grading in Japan at the next World Tournament in 2027.
In recent times she had been struggling with the debilitating MND, and lost her battle just this week.
RIP beautiful soul. πππ

One of the great things about training in Kyokushin karate is that you can find βfamily membersβ all over the world. They do the same things and speak the same language, βkarateneseβ.
Craig recently travelled to Japan for a family holiday and in true Kyokushin style, didnβt let an opportunity slip by.
He managed to fit in some training with Shihan Kimura and his dojo.
Well done all.

On a brighter note this week saw Shihan Takahashi from IKOKU in Fukui, of blah years old, bend an aluminium baseball bat with his shin !!!
Would you have the conviction to attempt this ??π²π²

Sadly today we heard of the passing of Shihan Robert Wiklund of Sweden. An absolutely amazing karateka, and genuinely great bloke. Such a Warrior
He was an inspiration to SO many.
This is Shihan Trevor with Shihan Robert in Osaka almost 20 years ago.
