This year the Australian Karate Federation National Championship Tournament will be held at HBF Stadium in Joondalup from the 1st to the 3rd of August, hosted by the WA Karate Federation.



The Nationals are held in a different state or territory every year. The last time WA hosted the event was in 2009, so this is a rare opportunity to witness a top-level karate competition here in Perth.

Among those competing and hoping for a spot on the podium are students from Sensei Bob Allen's Swan Hills Goju Ryu Karate club who are aiming to bring home medals from this year's tournament.



These include current State Champion, Ian Smith of Swan View and previous Nationals Silver medalist, Lisa Skrypichayko, as well as serious contenders State Team members Phil Salmon and Emma Jackson.



Sensei Bob says "This group is training very diligently and with great focus, but more important than that, win or lose, is the experience they gain by preparing for and competing in tournaments. Sportsmanship and the desire to excel are qualities learned in competition, and I encourage all my students, young or old, to have a go. Our senior student competitors also assist in training, so they'll be able to draw on
these experiences when coaching other club competitors".

Tickets cost $17.50 ($12.50 Concession) and may be purchased online from Ticketmaster .

The event starts at 8:00am on the 1st August at the HBF Arena, 20 Kennedya Drive, Joondalup.



Chojun Miyagi (founder of Goju-ryu Karate): "We should open Karate to the public and receive criticism, opinions and studies from other prominent fighting artists."
