A contingent of 8 KIMAA competitors (7 from Turramurra Dojo, 1 from Taree Dojo) entered the MKA State Tournament. All students represented their dojo admirably and displayed strong Kyokushin spirit. We had 3 students achieve 2nd Place in their division.
Special mention also goes to Oliver Roach for his tournament debut. Oliver is a 9th Kyu that fought a Shodan in Male 16-17 Full Contact and held his own in the fight, even though he copped a few strikes and elbow to the face and throat along the way.
Congratulations to all students. Thanks also goes to the coaching support from Shihan James Sidwell, Shihan Mark Shelmerdine, Sensei Ben Ng, Sensei Alex Lloyd, Sensei Mark Long and Sempai Josh Darley.
