Three young karate students from Ewingsdale’s Jin Wu Koon Karate have qualified for the AMAC Australian Championship following competition in Queensland.
Sensei Richard Light said, ‘I have just returned from the Queensland State Karate Championships where Jin Wu Koon Karate tasted great success.
‘It was Jesse, Sage and Oscar’s first state titles but they took on the challenge with courage, commitment and focus. Sage won gold in the 11-12 yrs non contact sparring and silver in the free sparring.
‘Jesse was disqualified for excessive contact in a lively bout with Sage in the free style semi but came second in kata. Oscar came third in Freestyle sparring.’
All three boys qualified for the Australian Martial Arts Championships (AMAC) to be held in Sydney on 5-6 December.
