Karate Queensland held the 2022 State Championship over the weekend (26-27th March) at the Cleveland State District High School. This is the top event on the Karate Queensland calendar with selections for competitors wishing to represent Queensland at the Australian Karate Federation (AKF) national championships later this year.
This year is even more exciting with the National Championships to be held in Rockhampton, Queensland in August. A great opportunity for our athletes to compete with the home state advantage.
Kansai Karate’s tournament squads have been training diligently over the last few months in preparation for the event. Working on additional training for tournament karate in addition to their regular karate training, as well as helping our developing squad with the tournament training as well.
The Karate Queensland – State Championship was a great event for all of our athletes and we would like to wish congratulations to all of Kansai Karate athletes who competed.
It was also great to have some our up and coming tournament squad members come along and watch this event to get a better understanding of tournament competition and the event venue before joining the competition themselves in the future.
Myself and Sensei Junko would like to extend our thanks again to all the parents, supporters and our coaches/officials.
