NewsWell done to our 7 Jyoshinmon members who competed at the Northland Open Karate Championship. This regional tournament was held at the ASB Stadium in Whangarei.
Coaches were Shihan David Bennett, Sensei Beaty Bennett and Sensei Chris Bennett. Sensei Jason Ng officiating as an A-Grade National Referee and Judge for Karate New Zealand for both Kata and Kumite categories. Senpai Jojina Scott assisted as Table Staff for Sportdata entry at one of the mats.
It was good to see competitors returing to Northland to support this event. Great effort from Paige who was unlucky to get a medal but better luck next time!
