FOUR representatives from Hamilton Karate WSKF (World Shotokan Karate-do Federation) had the experience of a lifetime when they travelled to Tokyo last month for a week of focussed training under world-renowned senseis.

Steph Praolini, Marianna Novicov, Beth Granziera and Matthew Pickett enjoyed the weekly seminar which runs every two years and gained plenty of valuable knowledge, with Praolini receiving her 3rd Dan Black Belt.
