A Successful Kick-A-Thon

May 24, 2021Kazoku Martial Arts Centre

Making our way to the Olympics, one kick at a time!

The Olympic Games are just under 100 days away and it has all of us hyped up since it will be the debut for Karate as an Olympic Sport. Amongst the athletes who will be competing our kumite instructor, Sensei Hamoon and his wife Sensei Samira, will be headed to the games; a dream come true for these two.

But it does not come with its own challenges, especially with the global issue we have all been fighting against throughout 2020 and into 2021.

Elite Team Selection #3

Yesterday, four of our KMAthletes rose at 5am and drove all the way to the Vaughn Sportsplex to compete in the Third Team Selection at the Elite Level with the Ontario Karate Federation. For the four of them, they have only had the chance to compete at this level a handful of times, however, their hard work in the dojo is starting to show as they continue to improve in their competitive skill.
