Thank you all for another wonderful year at Karate. The performances at the end of year gradings were inspiring and it was one of the highlights of the year to present 4 new Black Belts, 2 Shodans and 2 Nidans to very deserving recipients. The performances throughout the year from the tournament competitors were simply mind-blowing. The National Championships in Caloundra were undoubtedly a strong presence on the highlight reel for 2018. The expansion of the timetable and growth of Ashburton Dojo have also been fantastic to see. I would like to also acknowledge the outstanding work of the other Instructors throughout the year.
