With Shihan Cameron Quinn after winning 3 divisions during the South Pacific Championship many years ago. Young uchi deshi days.

Walter Schnaubelt - Open Weight.
Eddie Sorenson - Heavy Weight (missing from the photo).
Paul Pautani - Middle Weight.

It was brothers fighting each other in the Yokozuna after winning their Weight division.
Paul Pautani against Eddie Sorenson and Bernard Soari up against his own Sensei. Wally walked over 3 of us. 🫣

Brown belts and skinny. 😊

Shihan Cameron Quinn taught, Walter Schnaubelt, Garry O'Neil, Dominic Hopkins, Eddie Sorenson and Ben Ajamin to name a few of the many Australian strong Karate-Kas that came to mind.

This 1999 photo was taken after the World Tournament with one of Japan's great Kyokushin Karate fighters, Shihan Kazumi Hajime. He took out 2nd place after fighting Shihan Francisco Filho of Brazil.

It's important, that the younger generation of Karate-ka know the history of those before them as part of their learning in Kyokushin Karate.
