    Ophelia Wu Leng

    Congratulations to our Little Champions Karateka of the Year, Ophelia Wu Leng. Ophelia joined the dojo this year bringing lots of enthusiasm and an incredible natural ability. She very quickly moved through the early ranks of the Little Champions moving up to Little Champion Green belt.

    Ophelia has a can do attitude and was always one of the first to commit to challenging herself by participating in tournaments, the highlight being winning 3 gold medals at the Queensland State Titles.

    We look forward to see Ophelia continue to develop her karate over the coming years. With her great attitude and her ability she is going to be a star.

    2024 Karate Kids Karateka of the Year

    Henry Ho

    Congratulations to our 2024 Karate Kids Karateka of the Year, Henry Ho.

    Henry has been very dedicated to his training this year rarely missing a session. More importantly in every session he attends he is focused on his training and looking to get better. One of Henry’s greatest attributes is his ability to take on any advice he receives and look to use it. You can see whenever Henry trains that he is improving as a result.

    Henry possesses the qualities that will make him a great black belt and karateka one day. He is determined, his is disciplined, he is focused, he is willing to work hard and best of all he has fun doing it.

    We are very excited to see where the next few years takes Henry as he continues to grow in his karate.

    2023 QLD Chito-Ryu Karate Annual Camp

    Keen karate students from Gold Coast Chito-Ryu Karate and Sunshine Coast Karate joined together for a weekend of intense karate training on the Gold Coast.  Training was led by Martin Phillips Shihan with the assistance of Sandra Phillips Shihan and Adam Higgins Shihan.

    With a large range in ages of the participants ranging from 8 years old to 60+ it was great to see everyone working well together all with the same purpose of self-improvement and of course some karate fun!  The training session covered everything from kihon, kata, kumite, kobujyutsu, bunkai and plenty of physical work as well.  The highlight for many was Sunday morning beach training with a beautiful sunrise to great the day.

    The 2024 QLD Chito-Ryu Karate Camp will be held on the Sunshine Coast and we look forward to another great weekend of training.
