Established 1968

The Karate Club has bounded through the year with poise and grace, welcoming 28 new members to the fold,with a strong tie of 10 ongoing members from last year. Membership numbers are steadily recovering to pre-COVID-19 levels. The club held a successful AGM, electing a diverse committee with a blend of old and new faces. This year, the club facilitated another successful joint annual easter camp with Taekwondo Rhee at the Bay Park Scout Camp, which provided the opportunity for blended learning. The club also held a number of events, including a hike to Werribee Gorge and ice skating that challenged club members to stretch their legs outside their comfort zone, as well as an annual dinner.Notable accomplishments included participation in the Lion Bushido Karate Tournament and successful gradings at all levels,
