AU Nationals 2026, Brisbane

What a weekend for our tight-knit, 10-strong Karate Bondi team!

So many highs, a few lows, amazing friendships, incredible Kyokushin spirit, and performances that showed just how much hard work, tough training and preparation went into getting here. We couldn’t be prouder of every single one of you!

A massive thank you to the organisers, officials, instructors, volunteers and everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this year’s National Championships such a great event.
