What an absolutely outstanding day!

It was my absolute pleasure to welcome over 300 competitors and their families to Christchurch today for the GKR Karate 2025 New Zealand National Championships at Cowles Stadium. It was an day with incredible karate and sportsmanship on display. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

I would like to thank a number of people who helped to make this day a success.

Firstly, to the New Zealand Management Team – Renshi Antonie de Bruin, Sensei Hayden Gwynne, Sensei Neil Boddington, and Sensei Cassius Brown; your leadership is what helped to bring everyone together today and create this amazing event.
To the Region 22 Instructor Team; thank you for all your support over the past year in helping me to put this event together.
To all of the officials; it is because of you that this event ran so smoothly and everyone had such an amazing time.
To all the competitors; without you there would be no competition! It is always amazing to see how far you have come since I’ve seen you last, and I can’t wait to see who you’ve become by the next time we are all together.
To all of the families and friends of the competitors; it is your love and support that allow our competitors to do what they do.

Thank you all so much for this amazing day. Without all of you, this event could never have happened!

Warmest regards,
Jessica Patterson
