5th to 8th July - Sensei Andrew visits from Melbourne

The Dunedin Dojo was lucky to have Sensei Andrew visit from Melbourne for 3 days full of informative seminars and tough gradings.

All the students found the seminars with Sensei Andrew fun and useful, it was great to have Sensei available to work with all students on improving and developing their Karate further. The time Sensei Andrew spent with our own instructors was very beneficial for upskilling our instructors so they can better teach all students within the dojo.

Congratulations to all the students who graded, everyone put in a huge effort through the gradings and performed well. A special congratulations to Sophie Black who achieved her Shodan (1st Dan) grade and Nikita Stone who achieved her Shodan Ho (Black Belt) grade.

The whole Dojo is very grateful for the time Sensei Andrew gave to us while he was here. Thank You Sensei.
