Ian Duncan Karate

Thank you Marco Fanicchi (8th Dan) for taking the time to teach at our IDKC Class this past Saturday. A privilege for us to have someone at your level share your experience with us all. Thank you Andy Duncan and Lily Duncan and James for joining us as well. The late Ian Duncan Shihan would be proud to have you on this dojo floor.

We congratulate all our karateka who made the most of their Sunday grading, showing up as early as 07h30. We are proud to see the spirit of karate displayed during the day, with a few exemplary performances. It's great to see the growth in our students. Congratulations to all.

IDKC is proud of the 20 students who participated in the KWF SA Junior Championships on 6 June 2026. Between the participants they garnered 6 medals through their perseverance. We are proud of their performance and look forward to what the future holds for them. Well done!

Challenges are what makes life interesting. Well done on showing up and participating. The pictures and videos are worth a thousand words!
