What an awesome start to the grading weekend and a fantastic achievement for 8 of our students who were awarded their Black Belts.
Congratulations Nicholas Langmaid, Ivy Talwar, Dev Kuzhuppil, Arav Sreejith, Olivia Salim, Shravya Shinde, Sanavi Ligade and Jarvis Burgi. Many years of hard training culminating in a final test of all aspects of karate-do. Real grit and determination was shown over two and a half hours and there is no better feeling sitting back and knowing you have finally done it! You should all be very proud.
Brilliant stuff from Harvey Strempel who has had a brilliant year. First selected in the Victorian Karate Team and now being upgraded to Shodan. Very well done.
Congratulations to Sakura students Livia and Joseph and Northern Shukokai's Jacob who were also awarded their black belts.
Awesome from Sakura's Brad Rutzou who was tested over three days and very deservedly awarded his Sandan.
A massive thank you to Sakura's Sensei Jason Nichols and Northern Shukokai's Sensei Remo Angelini for all your help and support.
I also couldn't do it without our brilliant support crew giving up their time and expertise. Thank you to Sensei Tim (Happy Brithday mate!), Madz, Edward and Tim Orr. 🙏

We say 'No Way to Bullying!
This week we've been encouraging students to promote kindness, respect and inclusion. Karate teaches students to believe in themselves, use their voice and know they are not alone 🙌
In karate respect is shown in every bow, every partnership and every class.
