🥋 QLD AFTK Seminar – A Fantastic Day!

Over 30 participants came together for a full day of training, friendship and shared learning.

We kicked off with Sensei Geordie Lavers-McBain (Black Dragon Kai Martial Arts), exploring practical knife defensive tactics that challenged everyone’s timing and control.

Next, Sensei Kahlia Mitchell (Shukokai Hervey Bay Martial Arts) guided us through strength and mobility work tailored to karate—helping us build power and prevent injuries.

After lunch, Sensei Glenn Irvine (Kodomon Martial Arts) took us through dynamic two-person kumite drills, sharpening distance, timing and partner awareness.

Thank you to all the participants for bringing such great energy, and to Sensei Cheyne McMahon (Australian Karate Academy - Salisbury) for both hosting us at his outstanding dojo and opening the day with a valuable bonus session for instructors on attracting and retaining adult students.

A day of great skills, great people and true karate spirit!

Huge congratulations to Rowan Evans and Irina Davydoff who recently graded to 6th Kyu and 1st Kyu respectively. Excellent gradings!

5th Monday!... Special Self Defence class tonight at 6:30pm. We will be delving into some deeper elements of knife defence tonight, with some drills to support the work...

So sad to hear of the passing of Yogi Sensei. Yogi Jyosei gave so much of himself to help foreign students with their training at the Okinawa Budokan, often teaching as long as students paid his entry fee to the Budokan that day. He will be sorely missed by so many...

Sad to hear of the passing of Sensei Yagi Meitetsu of the Meibukan in Okinawa. We trained with him in 2017.

The former Spanish National Coach and international seminar presenter on Karate Tactics, Sensei Antonio Oliva, passed away this week. Oliva Sensei led a dominating Spanish National Team at World level, and revolutionised tactics and competitive analysis in the sport. Our Senior students will be familiar with his 9 fighting styles from his seminal work "Combate Supremo". Vale Sensei.

Well done Owen on an excellent grading 😀

Great Seminar hosted by the Australasian Federation of Traditional Karate this weekend in Brisbane. If you want to explore Kata Bunkai, Kakie, and Kata composition, come along, it is very reasonably priced to assist attendance.
