Memorable Moment: The 2003 Australasian titles, each Regional and State tournament and also working with the full time guys for a week in 2004 are some of the moments which stand out. Also, every class, grading or seminar that pushes me to my limits and helps me create new ones are always unforgettable.

Words of Wisdom: Home training! It will improve your fi tness, make your techniques better, stronger and faster and most importantly will make you even more enthusiastic to get along to normal classes and train your heart out! Set goals, fi nds some karate role models and work as hard as you can to get to their level. At its simplest karate is an effective style of self-defence, at its highest level it’s a way of life that can improve your character, fi tness and quality of life, so step out of the ordinary and be the best that you can!
