IKD karate is committed to delivering a high standard quality of teaching. This was apparent after last weekend’s QLD State Championships.
7 members of IKD Karate Australia competed at the Karate Queensland State Championships to gain selection into the Queensland State team and represent Queensland at the National Championships in August. Delara, Diba, Damine, Zac, Dana, Brittney and Jake represented IKD Australia in Brisbane on Saturday 23rd & Sunday 24th of March 2024.
The junior IKD team did well to kick start the competition on Saturday.
Zach, Dana, Brittney, Jake and Damine brought back impressive results!
The results:
Dana won three gold medals in Kata, Team Kata and Kumite 🥇🥇🥇and came home as a triple State champion.

Brittney achieved one gold medal in Team Kata🥇, two silver medals in Kumite🥈🥈and came home as a state champion.

The Senior IKD team then took over and finished off the competition on a high.
Delara snatched the gold medal in Kata & kumite 🥇🥇and came home as a double State champion.
Diba won silver in Kumite🥈
IKD Australia’s total medal tally ranked them as the 8th most successful karate club in Queensland, putting them in the top 10 clubs for the third year in a row! This is a huge achievement for a small club in the Gympie region. This event was a selection tournament and was compulsory to gain selection into the QLD state team. It is safe to say that our athletes hold great chances for selection.
