We had a great night again at our annual Christmas Karateka classes held last Thursday 19th December. All classes on our final night of training before Christmas, students can bring mum, dad, pop, nan or a friend, which once again has proven to be very popular and a lot of fun was had by all. The parents/friends really got into the swing of the night and students showing them how it is done. Click here to view photos in the gallery.

KKC Karate students accounted for 2 of the 6 divisions with Wade Hobbs winning the Senior up to 8th Kyu and Robbie Simmons winning the Junior Advanced 4th & 1st Kyu. This is the 4th year running Robbie has taken out the Interclub series championship for the division he competes in. Congratulations and well done to both Wade and Robbie.
Robbie Simmons 15yrs and Nisha Hewitt 12yrs entered their first full contact tournament today, the Shinkyokushin Northern Beaches Tournament which is primarily for kids and novice adults. Nisha came first in full contact sparring and non contact point sparring for her age and Robbie came first in full contact sparring for his age. This is a great achievement; they have trained hard for this event. Well done to you both Osu!
We had a great day and I would like to thank all of the Shinkyokushin Officials as they were very welcoming and encouraging to us.
