It’s been an impressive and productive 12 months for the South Delta Kyokushin Karate

The long-running not-for-profit club saw instructors and athletes make some significant achievements in testing and on the competitive mats.

It began last August when Sempai Rob Sonnenberg challenge for his Nindan (2nd degree) black belt and was successful

In November, Sempai Rob and Sensei Mike Sandford travelled to Tokyo, Japan to attend the International Kyokushinkaikan Karate (IKO) intensive training course where Sensei Mike successfully passed his Yondan (4th degree black bet)

In March, Sensei Mike and Sempai Rob took six competitors to the Calgary Cup where they combined to finish second overall and secure six placings.

Two months later, it was the 2023 Canadian Championships where the South Delta dojo was well-represented and thrived on the national stage with 40 placings to finish first overall. The outstanding showing was led by Hailey Hana who not only won her 13-and-14-year-old division in Kata and contact fighting, but also captured the spirit and technical awards.

Last month, Sempai Scott Sommers challenged and secured his Sandan (3rd degree black belt).
