📅 Date: Saturday, 18 July

"The event is designed to celebrate traditional karate and kobudo in a respectful and positive environment, with a focus on clean technique, smooth and strong movement, posture, balance, control, spirit, and good budo attitude."

If you would like further information or registration details, please email the club.

Hi Tiny Tigers,

We have created a Tiny Tigers Booklet containing all the information you'll need for gradings, including terminology, stances, techniques, and other important karate knowledge.

While the booklet is not mandatory, it is a valuable resource that will help students navigate their karate journey and prepare for future gradings.

The booklets are available for $12.50 each. A sample copy is available to view at the dojo if you would like to have a look before purchasing.

Please see Sensei Rich or Senpai Ash if you would like to purchase one.
