AUSTRALIAN HIGH COMMISSION | Port Moresby
TWENTY-FIVE SENIOR KARATE INSTRUCTORS from around Papua New Guinea yesterday completed a two weeks coaching and training camp in Port Moresby.
The camp was organised by the PNG Karate Federation with funding assistance of $10,000 from the Australian Sports Outreach Program under the Pacific Sports Development Grants.
The Karate Federation – the umbrella body for karate styles, clubs and associations in the country – used the grant and the camp to equip karate instructors with intermediate and advance knowledge techniques in the art and sport of karate.
Trevor Roberts, president of the Queensland Karate Federation and a World Karate Federation referee, facilitated the course.
Australian High Commission first secretary, Tim Bryson, said he was pleased to see that the camp had achieved its objective to enhance local expertise in Karate, and thanked Karate Federation president Carl Mari and his team for putting together such a well organised program.
