Sunshine Coast Karate instructors, Shihan Martin Phillips and Shihan Sandra Phillips are very proud to announce that there will be 11 representatives from the Sunshine Coast to represent Australia at the 2017 Chito-Ryu Karate-Do World Championships. Sunshine Coast representatives will join forces with other Australian team members from Gold Coast, Sydney and Blue Mountains Dojos.

We’ve just kicked off an 8 week introductory karate class for O/50’s through the U3A. A really great bunch of people who are so positive and keen to have a go at everything. We are really excited about the coming weeks.  These 10 students have certainly proven that you’re never too old to learn something new.

Classes cancelled today on a count of the rain.  Stay safe everyone. For further updates, check the Sunshine Coast Karate facebook page.

Congratulations to Jake, Faith and Byron. Jake has been training at SCK for 5 years now (awarded his silver medallion). Faith has been training for 2 years and Byron has completed his first year of training. Both Faith and Byron are working towards achieving their bronze medallion (3 years of training at SCK). Well done

As you may have noticed in the dojo, Sensei Sandra & I have been trialling some different light weight uniforms in the dojo.  So far we are quite happy with them although they are taking a bit of getting used to as the material is quite different than gis we have worn in the past.

The final events of the in-house tournament are now complete and it was great to see such a good improvement in the standard of competition in these divisions.  I think we’re going to have some really tough divisions at the upcoming Sunshine Coast tournament next month. Here are the results: Kumite 8-10 Yrs Dylan Woods William
