Congratulations, Senpai Ben, on your 2nd Dan

We'd like to congratulate Senpai Ben on his successful grading to 2nd Dan. This has been long overdue, and he just had to get on and do it! He also got his Level B AMAC referee certificate last year at the AMAC Australian Titles, which qualifies him as an International Referee.

Nov/Dec Grading Results

I'm very pleased say that for the final grading of the year, we had the largest number of students grading to date at Kuro Obi, and the results too are very pleasing. There was a total of 26 students grading, among which there were no less than 3 double gradings. The dojo is starting to get very colourful! Click the read more link to see the full results.

Kuro Obi sweeps the Interclub Champions Awards!

The IFKKA Interclub Championships are a series of 3 mini-tournaments, just for students of the IFKKA dojo. Competitors get points for attending, more points for placing, and negative points for signing up but not turning up. They also have to have competed in at least 2 of the 3 tournaments through out the year. Kuro Obi Dojo did exceptionally well this year due to its dedicated students.
