A local competition that is great for beginners. We participated in the competition last term with 10 players at their first competition - and it was a great success. It’s a step up from our Round Robins, but a bit easier than a competition in Auckland. A great chance to face off against other players in the region in a friendly evemt. The comeptition also finishes with a shared lunch.
Registration closes on 22nd Novemeber and the fee is $20.

It’s designed for\beginners, and a great step between our Round Robins to larger regional/national events in Auckland. Entries close June 14th, so make sure to let Barney know by then if your keen to compete! Following the tournament there is a shared lunch (kai), everyone is welcome to join, so please bring a plate to share.

Exciting news and we officially open the Kirikiriroa Open 2024!

The KO aims to provide players with a high-quality event, adopting the strategies and format of larger international competitions. A massive part of our goal is to provide athletes with as much mat time as possible. Therefore, we are introducing the following rules to maximise number of fights;

1) We will run double-elimination draws. In this format, when a player loses, they go into a separate loser’s bracket, where you still have the opportunity to fight back for the final!

2) Development players may also enter the open grade event.

3) Players may enter the age-grade division above their own (except for those entered in development divisions).

These changes mean that players who decide to enter two divisions are guaranteed a minimum of four fights.

Maximising the number of fights for players has a significant effect on the timetable. To allow for this, the KO event will be a Kumite only event (no Kata divisions).

We look forward to seeing you all in Hamilton, and best of luck to all those competing!

Four Toatakai players are heading to Europe for three weeks in September to take on the best in World Karate, and could use your help fundraising

Barney, Raukawa, Elemer and Eledon are doing a fundraiser, running laps around the Hamilton Lake for 12 hours on Sunday June 2nd. You can sponsor an athelte or the whole team, at a designated amount for every lap they complete. You can also set a maximum dontation, incase they boys go crazy running laps.

Karate is a completely self funded sport, so we really appreciate any support! The boys have been incredibly dedicated in training to prepare to take on the world’s best athletes. On their trip, they'll be training in Slovakia, and competing in Croatia, Austria and Hungary.

We can't wait to take the fight over there and do Toatakai proud! Please come and join us at the lake on the 2nd as well!

To sponsor, just message or email barneygill@gmail.com the following details:
Your name, phone and email.
Which athlete (or the team) and how much you'd like to sponsor per lap.
Maximum donation
(For example: If you sponsor the team at $0.25 a lap with a maximum donation of $15, and the boys a combined 80 laps, the total donation would be $15, not $20).
