Learn Traditional Karate at Maroochydore's only fully equipped, permanent Karate dojo

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.

A few weeks back we had our first ever Queensland Chito-Ryu training camp which brought together members from both Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast dojos.  The camp was held at maranatha recreation camp on the Sunshine Coast 21-23 November.  Of the nearly 40 people who attended I don’t there is anyone that isn’t really excited about next year’s camp which is to be held on the Gold Coast.

Please enjoy these photos from the weekend, which highlights some of the training and other activities that we got to enjoy.
