Some lucky Samurai QLD students and
instructors were fortunate enough to be able to participate in Samurai
Karate's 30th anniversary celebrations. Those who did make the trip down
to Melbourne were treated to four days of training, tournaments,
gradings and awards dinners. Although sore and exhausted by the end,
those that went were excited about sharing the knowledge with those back
in Brisbane. Special congratulations to fellow Samurai Thomas
Olsen (from Victoria)who was selected to represent Australia at the
World Karate Federation -
'Junior and Cadet Championships' in Morocco.
