My name is Yoshi and I would like to take my two children to Ireland in August. Bashtion and Shinju have been selected to represent Australia to compete in the 14th Japan Karate Association Funakoshi Gichin Cup World Karate Championship.
Bashtion 13yo has been doing karate since he was 5yo and his enthusiasm and passion to karate has always been strong. Bashtion has won Best Boy Competitor in the JKA National Championsip 2012. Also he won 1st place in Kata in the JKA National Championship in Melbourne 2014. He was selected to go to Tokyo in Japan for the JKA World Cup 2014. Bashtion lost first round in Kumite, got three punches in his face but describes the experience as the best day of his life. Shinju 11yo started karate about three years ago. She achieved juniour black belt in September 2016. Shinju won 1st place in Kata, Kumite and Best Girl Competitor in the JKA State Chamionship 2016.
In March this year, they travelled to Melbourne for the National team slection for the JKA World Cup in Ireland and they both got selected to represent Australia together!! Their commitment and dedication to karate is amazing for their age and my husband and I are very very proud of their achievement.This is a great opportunity for them to challenge themselves and see the internationally high standard in karate.
Our instructors are Mr Jim Wood MBE 7th Dan JKA and Sensei Aileen Wood 5th Dan JKA. They have been teaching JKA Karate in Mandurah for many years. Sensei Jim Wood is an internationally accredited instructor, judge and examiner by the Japan Karate Association. He was awarded the Member of British Empire medal by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to karate. JKA karate is the most traditional, authentic Shotokan Karate in the world.
We are currently seeking financial assistance to help us with the cost of flight tickets, team uniforms and accomodation etc.I work full time as dental assisstant and my husband stays home looking after our family after he had three strokes in last two years. Any donations will be really appreciated to make our children's dreams come true.
