Last night we celebrated the Karate Queensland annual awards night with some of our Australian Academy Of Martial Arts Karate-Do Club Inc. - AAMA athletes and our internationally ranked referee Senpai Vesa. What a great evening among the broader karate community and it is so amazing to see the true team spirit that is really developing within the team driven by the amazing Leonie Dooley, our very own Qld Team Captain Senpai Tom Foreman and the inimitable Big Theo - the love being shared for the big man was incredible. We reflect on an amazing Nationals where AAMA athletes dominated in veterans divisions with one of the true highlights being the tribute to the late Shihan Keleher by his inspirational daughter Bianca as she collected her medal in the female veterans division.

We are sure you will represent Qld with spirit and determination.
AAMA students benefited from a special kumite kihon training session on Sunday afternoon with guest instructor Ayaka Tadano. Ayaka was a member of the Japanese national kumite team for 7 years (2015 to 2021) , WKF Premier League Gold Medalist 2015, 2016 and 2018 and the WKF Series "A" dual gold medalist in 2019. The 2st hour of the 2 hour training session worked through the warm-up routine of the Japan National Kumite Team. We will release some videos from this training over the next few weeks, but here are a few group photos after training to start us off... ... See MoreSee Less
