And that's a wrap!
We are officially on two weeks holiday.

A big thankyou to Robert Bayliss, Brock and Stirling, Talia Storoy, Roderick Air, Lucy and Isaac, Katherine Bissett, kyson and finally Linda Applebee for sharing in our final training session

See you all on the 5th of January.

The Shukokai crew enjoyed a fantastic training seminar with some of the countries best traditional martial artists at the Australasian Federation of Traditional Karate & Kobudo AFTK QLD seminar.

These seminars not only foster great friendships across many styles but they also preserve and grow traditional karate.

looking forward to the next one

Congratulations to Sensei Kahlia Mitchell of Shukokai Hervey Bay Martial Arts on achieving Karatedo Yondan (4th Dan).

After an extensive virtual pre-assessment and an in-person examination today by an independent panel, Sensei Kahlia demonstrated her technical skill, theoretical understanding, and leadership by also delivering a seminar session.

The certificate was presented by Mr Reece Cummings, AFTK President, on behalf of the Management Committee, and Examination Panel.

An outstanding milestone that reflects years of dedication to the art—well deserved!

Just a snippet of the weekends grading. Well done to all, it was a great display of skill.

A big thankyou to our helpers, Sensei Stirling, Dai Sempai Brock and Sempai's Vanessa and Charlie.

AUGUST 2025

We were very blessed to be able to take part in a last weekends training seminar with two other local martial arts clubs.

It was fantastic to see martial artists from all ages, skill levels and styles coming together to share this knowledge.

We hope to continue to foster these friendships with other local clubs and to share our collective knowledge of martial arts.

Well done to all our juniors and seniors who successfully completed their gradings this weekend.

Everyone performed wonderfully and should be very proud of their achievements.

And a big thank you to our helpers, they always make running gradings a little easier.

Huge congratulations to our 4 competitors at the 2024 AMAC Nationals. Stirling, Brock, Nessy, and Gabe all performed very well against very experienced competitors.

There was a couple unlucky near misses on placings but the team rallied behind each other and came home with 6 placings.

Everyone performed incredibly well, taking to heart the advice given to them and working hard to make improvements. We couldn't be more proud of everyone's performance.

FCAC students and brothers Stirling and Brock recently celebrated success at the National All Styles (NAS) National Titles competition.

Both boys entered multiple events and came away with placings.

Stirling is now recognised as the Australian National Champion as he won a first place and also placed second in another division, Brock was able to win a second place in one of his events.

Training with the team at Bubishi Martial Arts, Stirling & Brock have also been preparing to grade with Stirling having chosen to take on the trials of testing for his black belt under the requirements of an adult and Brock will be testing for his 1st Kyu Brown belt in December.

We are super proud!
