Mathew HILAKARI

Japan Karate Association, Point Cook

Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (14:20): I would also like to thank sensei Bryan and the Japan Karate Association in Point Cook for inviting me along to their dojo in Point Cook to see the dedicated members of their growing club. I would like to extend my best wishes to Isaac and Preshena, who are off to the world championships in Japan in October this year at the Takasaki Arena. Isaac has been training for karate for eight years, since the age of four. I would just like to mention the late Australian karate legend Takaatsu Nishimura for identifying his talent early on. Both Isaac and Preshena are doing amazing things, and we are all so proud of them. Congratulations for getting there.
