QLD State Titles 20 September 2015

On a clear spring day in Brisbane, over 200 Karate ka from all 5 Qld Regions gathered to compete in the 2015 Qld State Titles. The day began with the Junior team kata and finished with Senior Team Kumite. The new male and female team kumite is proving to be very popular with competitors and a lot of fun to watch. Some dual State Title Gold medal winners in various divisions were: Oliver Ryan, Christian Taase, Leticia Towler, Britney Fiechtner, Daniel Roebig, Curtis Hutton, Chrystal Coughlan, Kaitlyn Carney, Ejay Vollenhoven, Ethan Lyle, Paige Harten, Brendan Murray, Naomi Roberts, Lauren Jullierat, Katie Neville, Jenii Rogers, Prue Nagel, Sylvia Song, Gary Henry and Phillip Turner. In the Junior Open Divisions competition was tough. Well done to Emma and Emilia McNamara for taking both Gold medals in the Junior Female Open division! And to Brandon who took the Kata and Thomas who took out Kumite in an exciting display of prowess in the Junior Male Open division. In Senior Open Female, Kerryn White’s kata topped the day, while in Kumite Louiza Luxton proved too hard to beat. In Senior Male Opens, Chris Drummond’s Kata scored the best, and in Kumite Zach Forster took top honours. Overall a fantastic finish to the Qld combined tournament circuit. Thanks to all officials, admin staff and set up crews. Good luck to all Qld competitors who are travelling to Melbourne to compete in the 2015 Nationals. Looking forward to 1 more Regional Tournament in Qld on the 22nd of November held at Belmont State School in Region 29. Regards, Sensei Gary Luxton Senior Tournament Director
