  • Autumn Grading Success

    Autumn Grading Success

    Congratulations to all students who successfully passed their recent grading at Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate.

    Gradings are an important milestone in every student’s karate journey. They represent the dedication, perseverance, and consistent effort students put into their training week after week. Each grading is not only a test of technique, but also of spirit, focus, and character.

    It was fantastic to see students of all ages step onto the dojo floor and demonstrate their progress in kihon (basics), kata, and kumite. The improvement across the dojo continues to be impressive, and it is clear that everyone is committed to striving for their personal best.

    Achieving a new belt or stripe is something to be proud of, but it is also a reminder that karate is a lifelong journey of learning and self-development. Every new rank brings new challenges and new opportunities to grow.

    A special thank you also goes to the instructors and senior students who help guide and support our members through their training and preparation.

    Once again, congratulations to all students who graded. We look forward to seeing you continue your journey toward your next goals in karate.

    Train hard, stay humble, and keep moving forward. 🥋

    2024 Senior Karateka of the Year

    Siani Symons

    Congratulations to our 2024 Senior Karateka of the Year, Siani Symons.

    Siani was our 2023 Senior Karateka of the Year and has followed up that great year by being even stronger in 2024.

    Siani has grown considerably throughout the year as a result of the time and effort she puts into her karate. You will always see her doing extra work before and after class, and during classes she is very focused on taking onboard the lessons given.

    As a valuable member of our leadership team Siani has proven to be an inspiration to many of the younger karateka who look up to her as a great example.

    We see a Siani becoming a great black belt, instructor and valuable member of the Gold Coast dojo for many years to come!
