We hosted our inaugural Seiha Club competition over the weekend against some of the other local Brisbane clubs. The aim of our competition is for our younger (and some of our more experienced) athletes to gain valuable competition experience. Well done to all our Seiha athletes who competed.
U21 & Junior World Championships, Santiago Chile
October 2019
Congratulations to Caleb for being selected to compete at the 2019 U21 World Karate Championships. This tournament is the pinnacle of our competition. Losing a very close fight (2:1) to Kazakhstan (who went on to win the world championship) in the 2nd round, then losing a Hantei decision in repechage. Both extremely close fights. At the very highest level of karate competition, this was an excellent achievement. Well done Caleb - keep up the hard work!
Congratulations also to Sensei Sean who attended as a WKF referee.
