NewsFantastic effort from our 22‑strong team at the final tournament of the year!
The 4th Regional Karate Tournament took place on 20 September 2026 at the Auckland Netball Centre Stadium, which was organised by Karate Auckland. It was inspiring to see how much our competitors have improved since the previous event.
We are grateful for our dedicated coaching team — Sensei Chante Betham, Sensei Zak Bennett, and Sensei Jose Castillo — along with Senpai Juan Castillo and Senpai Skylar Castillo, who prepared our athletes before each division and kept them focused throughout the day.
Shihan David Bennett and Sensei Beaty Bennett were always close by, offering guidance, support, and encouragement whenever needed.
A huge thank you goes to all parents, families, and supporters whose energy lifted our competitors on the mats.
Special appreciation to our volunteers: Sensei Jojina Bennett for managing Sportdata duties, with Moana Puku and Alfred Sijo volunteering as Table Staff.
The event ran smoothly as always thanks to Sensei Chris Bennett, who oversaw the Sportdata system and supported volunteers throughout the tournament.
Proud of our team — proud of our Dojo.
