Karatedo Shitokai New Zealand

 
Sensei Bob, along with one of his young students woke up this morning feeling a little better after a successful evening at the NSSSA dinner at Kensington Stadium.

 

Olivia Crum who last year acheived her Jnr Shodan last night won the Female Karate code award in her first year at high school. This goes with her school elite colours for medalling at a National Championship. All in all a good year for Olivia.

Travis Butler 3 times,

Matt Burns 2 times,
