Two special events for members & guests

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Next year is going to be a very big one for Sunshine Coast Karate.  So to kick the year off with a bang, we have planned two special events for members and guests.

For Kids (5-15yrs) we have planned a Kid’s night out, complete with gladiator games, pizza, karate training and more.  Check out our kids night out.

For adults, we have planned a special night of training along with some great tips and ideas to help you start the new year with a positive attitude.  This is also a way to help introduce our new and improved adult schedule for 2009.  We will have adult classes 5 nights a week, plus early morning and mid morning karate classes twice.  So if you have some friends, here is a chance to bring them along for a great night out that is bound to change your life.


Recognising Excellence - 2008 Annual Awards Winners

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Just last weekend, we had our annual Christmas training day at Cotton Tree Park.  It was a big day all around…

  • Training in the park and the water
  • Games for the kids organised by the Emmas (Emma Woodhouse & Emma Moehead)
  • Association AGM
  • A visit from Santa presents and all
  • Free BBQ sausage sizzle put on by the association and supported by both our butchers in the club, Mick’s Meat Barn and North Buderim Butcher
  • And finally we wrapped up the day with a few special presentations recognising the outstanding efforts of a few members, a tradition we started a few years back.

Awards were presented to Student of the Year, in a numer of categories:

  • Beginner Child:  Emma Rhodes Pery
  • Intermediate Child: William Nak
  • Advanced Child:  Viet Kaas
  • Beginner Adult:  Amber James
  • Intermediate Adult:  Chris Baker
  • Advanced Adult:  Jim Moehead
  • Competitor of the Year:  Duncan Bigg
  • Budoka of the Year:  Helen O’Grady

Unfortunately a few of the recipients weren’t able to be there on the day, but most have since received them in class.

Here are a few photos from the day, and a few in the dojo shortly after too.
