Tasmania Kei Shin Kan Karate Association Inc.

Congratulations to Tasmanian Chief Instructor David Lanham's promotion to 5th Dan at our Australian Kei Shin Kan Camp held last weekend.

Fresh black belts were presented to seniors at training, with some of their old ones being a little worn and frayed after 20-30+ years of training with them.

Instructors and students from around Australia gathered recently in Tasmania for our national 3 day camp under the guidance of Shihan Uchida. There were intensive training sessions and valuable ideas shared. Congratulations also to Damien Freeman from Launceston dojo winning the sparring tournament and Doug Zollo from Falls Creek passing his grading to 2nd Dan..

Congratulations to Frederic Courbet on receiving his 2nd Kyu certificate and brown belt this week after recently completing his grading.. Frederic has trained with us for 18 months and has several years prior Karate experience in both Australia and Europe.🥋

Great time last night for Launceston members and partners celebrating the end of our 51st year of Kei Shin Kan in Tasmania.
