World Selection Trials - Perth 2006
Congratulations to our three representatives in the Australian team for the World Titles in Slovenia in 2007 and their coach, Sabum Cariotis.
- Nicole Kozaris - Female Individual Power
- Tony Nguyen - 3rd Dan Blackbelt Patterns
- Vaine Takaiti - 1st Dan Blackbelt Patterns
Our Male Patterns Team performed their patterns superbly but unfortunately were not
able to secure selection with their performance in other team events on the day. They repeated their fanastic effort in the team patterns in the
Australian Titles, where they also performed very well in the individual special techniques and power events. Unfortunately, the National Titles were separate from
the selection trials.
