Karate Cairns - Fudoshin Sh*toryu

Parents are asked kindky pick your kids up on time Wednesday night 17/06/ 2026, so we can get up the range in time to watch QLD flog NSW.

Another strong session kumite/kata ahead of next months Australian Titles. A big thanks to Rio and James for being available as sparring partners for the team.

It is a pleasure to see the smiling faces of Kaitlyn (L), Catherine (M) and mum Carine (R) in our dojo weekly. The two girls have been training with us for six months and are rapidly improving. Karate taught properly will give them skills, structure and discipline. They are a happy family bringing a good energy into the dojo. Always a pleasure to see them.

Never forgotten.

Thousands of unforgettable memories forged. Thank you 🙏❤️

Good news. Sensei Trevor Perkins and wife Allison will be in Cairns for a visit in a few weeks. Trevor is one of the most senior students of the late Shihan Con Kassis. Shihan Con trained with his famous mentor Soke Kenei Mabuni, learning kata and bunki almost excusively for nearly thirty years. This was largely passed on to Sensei Trevor. It will be a great opportunity to attend training and gain greater insight. After spending some time in Cairns he will also be on the Australia team going to the Sh*tokai World Championships with some of us later in the year. Lets make the most of this visit and enjoy some social activities as well!.

We congratulate Albert Jindra and Hannah Aksamit on achieving junior Shodan level (black belt). Both have dedicated between 7 to 8 years to reach this milestone. They have both been amazing helpers with small juniors and are a credit to their families. There are no handouts at Fudoshin, everything is earned. We are the true locals with over forty years FNQ karate, setting the standards high.
