This annual event was held this year at the Tallebudgera Camp in Queensland on the 18th-19th November.
The focus of the event was the randori shiai and the embu kata competitions (goshin-no-kata, juu nana hon and freestyle)
12 Sydney Shodokan members took part and all had a great time!
It was a friendly and social atmosphere and a great opportunity to train with higher grades from other states.
We are also happy to say that our club dominated the competitions taking out first places in the randori, goshin-no-kata and the juu nana hon!
Congratulations to the winners and thanks to everyone involved in writing up or presenting the awards!
