Australian Academy Of Martial Arts Karate-Do Club Inc. - AAMA

AAMA students benefited from a special kumite kihon training session on Sunday afternoon with guest instructor Ayaka Tadano. Ayaka was a member of the Japanese national kumite team for 7 years (2015 to 2021) , WKF Premier League Gold Medalist 2015, 2016 and 2018 and the WKF Series "A" dual gold medalist in 2019. The 2st hour of the 2 hour training session worked through the warm-up routine of the Japan National Kumite Team. We will release some videos from this training over the next few weeks, but here are a few group photos after training to start us off...
