After so many years of competing in his division and coming short of taking 1st place, John Georgas finally achieved 1st place in his Kata Division. In addition to that, he also proved himself worthy of competing in the Seniors Kata event and got the 3rd Place. It is such a tremendous achievement for a 16 year old considering only the elite of athletes can accomplish and obtain such results. “John will be travelling to Las Vegas this week to compete and represent Australia in the US Karate Open. He is aspiring to represent Australia in the coming Junior World Championship to be held in Malaysia in November of this year.” said trainer and PDK Dojo Martial Arts School owner Ricky Rigor.
Michael Basckin: 16 - 17 years old; Male Kata: Second Place.

At the PDK Dojo Martial Arts School we are very proud of our students. Not only for achieving such great results at a champion level but for the determination and effort they put into doing something well.
