Year 7 Student Profile

Tahnysha Theodore, St Rafka

 

 

I recently had the opportunity to represent Australia in Karate at the 2019 Pacific Training Cup and Championships in New Caledonia.  The first part of our trip was three days of intensive training sessions with world champions Alex Biamonti, Kristina Mah, Miroslav Slizic, and Sandy Scordo in both Kumite and Kata forms.  During these sessions, I gained many valuable skills, refined my techniques, learned new combinations, and set some new goals for next year. I also made friends with many athletes from other countries.  The second part of our trip was a two day tournament, where I competed in both the 12/13 Year Old Female Open Kumite and Kata Divisions. I fought hard to finish 4th in the Kumite (narrowly missing out on the Bronze Medal by flags only), and was thrilled to win the Gold Medal in Kata.  It was a great experience, and I was very proud to represent our country.  

 

Congratulations Tahnysha from all the Year 7 students 2019.
