Trollip and Calore shine for the Nippon Tigers
Local karate club members show their spirit in tournament.
Karatekas from the small Nippon Tigers Shotokan Karate Club, in Castleview, took part in the Traditional Karate Tournament, recently.
The tournament was organised by the World Authority Traditional Karate-do Association, in Lenasia.
The members excelled against some very strong competition, from as far afield as Pretoria.
Leading the way was Connor Trollip (purple belt) who won a silver medal in individual kata and gold in the individual kumite.
He was backed up by the ever consistent senpai Nadia Calore (junior black belt) who achieved a silver medal for her individual kata, for the second consecutive year.
A proud sensei Goran Stankovic said, “I am so proud of the two of them for having such amazing characters filled with great passion and dedication for the art of karate, which offers wonderful training for life.”
