NewsWhat a day for Jyoshinmon NZ!
Our 16‑member team competed at the 3rd Regional Karate Tournament on 2 August 2026 at Auckland Netball Centre Stadium, showing outstanding spirit and determination.
Huge appreciation to our coaching team — Sensei Chante Betham, Sensei Zak Bennett, Sensei Jose Castillo, Sensei Bruce Sabine — plus Senpai Juan Castillo and Senpai Skylar Castillo for supporting our athletes. It was great to see Shihan David Bennett and Sensei Beaty Bennett lend their support and advice.
Thank you to all parents, families, and supporters for their encouragement. Special thanks to our volunteers who worked a full 12‑hour shift – Sensei Jojina Bennett for Sportdata duty and Moana Puku for Marshalling the competitors to the mat.
And a big shout‑out to Sensei Chris Bennett for expertly running the Sportdata system and guiding volunteers throughout the event.
Proud of our team — proud of our Dojo.
