Congratulations to Sarah Irving (State Referee B) and Stacey Philpot (State Kumite Judge B), both of Hombu Dojo for recently receiving respective state accreditations at the Funakoshi Open in Warrnambool. Pathways in karate are not always focussed on competing. Plenty of self improvement can be achieved by applying oneself to many aspects of the sport.
