9 months ago I never thought I would be doing Karate. I was pretty keen on indoor soccer and that was my passion. I came along to give it a go and soon I was training three times a week.?>
It wasn’t long before I developed an interest in tournaments. The training for the tournaments isn’t easy. The training is more physical and demanding to get us prepared for tournaments.
In October 2010, I won a Victorian State Title at the National All Styles state championships. I competed against karate, taekwondo and kickboxing clubs from all over Victoria.
I followed this up by winning my first Australian championship in Sydney in December, 2010. I won the National title for men’s novice where I was competing against 35 other Australians. When I reached the final I had to take on one of my peers, Michael, so it was Unsu Kai fighting for first and second in Australia!
In 2010 I made great mates at Unsu Kai who I train with every week. Karate is something I would definitely recommend to anybody who wants to learn something new. - Sean Hindmarch, aged 19
