As we countdown the days to the 2024 QLD Chito-Ryu Karate State Titles, let’s take a moment to look back—way back to 1998 at the Soke Cup.
Here’s a rare snapshot of the men’s team kumite. Can you spot the younger versions of Martin Sensei and Adam Sensei?
While many students see them as instructors today, it’s important to remember that they’ve walked the same tournament path you’re on.
They’ve faced the pressure, embraced the challenge, and pushed through to succeed.
This is your reminder that the champions you look up to were once students just like you—training hard, making mistakes, and rising through dedication and perseverance.
Every instructor was once where you are now—on the mat, eager to give their best. Their journey proves that you’re building something great with every step you take.
Success isn’t just measured in medals but in the commitment to growth.
Who knows? One day, it could be you standing in a flashback photo, inspiring the next generation of karatekas.
Keep moving forward, keep learning, and trust that each effort brings you closer to your best self.
To all our students competing this weekend, we wish you a memorable and rewarding experience.
Take every moment, challenge yourself, and remember—you’re not just building skills, you’re creating memories and forging your path.
Good luck, and have fun out there!
