Shoto Karate Australia

Sensei George vs. Sensei Hayley – the rivalry continues today! 🏉

Who will come out on top? 💙 NSW or ❤️ QLD?

Both Senseis have agreed to a special challenge for the losing side... but you'll have to wait and see it for yourselves at our take on the ‘Big Freeze’ next Tuesday to find out what the punishment is! 🧊😂

May the best team win! 🏆

And your Term 2 Champions are… Dylan & Lucas! 🌟🥋

Congratulations to our Term 2 Champions, Lucas and Dylan!

Both students have displayed a remarkable level of respect, commitment, and dedication throughout the term. Their hard work, positive attitude, and consistent effort have made them worthy recipients of this award.

Well done, Lucas and Dylan! 👏

Once again we are so proud of Colene who represented Shoto Karate at the Shukokai Cup and achieved gold in her elites division. She performed a new and very advanced Kata that she just learned! Keep up the great work ‘Pocket Rocket’! Nationals here we come!

Good luck to our adults - Alex, Ashlyn, Matt, May and Junior - Liam grading today. You’ve worked hard all year, time to put it all into action today! 🙏🏽

Happy Birthday, Sensei George! 🎉🥋

Thank you for creating such a welcoming and supportive space where everyone feels comfortable to train, no matter their experience. The camaraderie, respect, and community you have built at Shoto Karate Australia is something really special, and it’s a reflection of the example you set every day.

Thank you for inspiring so many students over the years and for continuing to do so. Wishing you a wonderful birthday filled with family, friends, laughter, and lots of cake! (End endless replays of ‘eye of the tiger’) 🎂❤️

Have a fantastic day, Sensei! Please leave a special birthday message below for him to see.
