Hi Everyone, 2019 AKF National Championships is being held in Launceston from 2-4 August. Accommodation will be booked by all of the states pretty soon and it's not likely there will be much if anything left once they do. The Tassie team has accommodation at the Country Club on hold but will need to confirm numbers very soon. If you are intending to compete, volunteer or simply spectate and want to stay down there please let me know by private message this week. Venue is the Silverdome. Thanks! And please pass this on to any club members who haven’t joined the Kintora Facebook group yet.

Congratulations to all the Kintora Krew who participated in the 2018 AKF National Championships 3-5 August. Kate won a bronze medal in U21yrs +68kg kumite and silver in team kumite for NSW. Angus won a bronze medal in team kumite for NSW. Congratulations to both Kate and Angus on being selected for the NSW team events - no mean feat in itself!
Alex didn’t win his fight, but showed clear and massive improvement from last year. He also won his first round of kata at national level.
Annalise competed in individual kumite for the first time at national level and won a bronze medal in the U21 -55kg division and also won her first round of kata in U21s.
Finlay continued his great form and won a bronze medal in the 16-17yrs +76kg kumite.
Sensei Suzie won gold in the +45yrs kumite for the second year in a row.
Sensei Frank gained his National Referee level A licence, which is the highest level able to be achieved in Australia. We’ll be waiting to see if Sensei Frank starts heading overseas to achieve the next level!
Huge thanks also to Donna, Andrea and Mike, who tirelessly give up their time in volunteer roles at tournament after tournament.

Congratulations to Rhys and Matilda on passing their shodan exam this evening!

Congratulations to our newest international competitor! Finlay has been selected to represent Australia in the +76kg Junior division at the Oceania Championships to be held in Auckland on 18-20 May this year. How amazing to see Finlay reach this level in such a short time. All his hard work (and dad’s) is really paying off now. All the best from all of us, Finlay!
