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
Regional Manager
Christchurch, New Zealand

The GKR Karate State Titles were nothing short of inspiring, with every competitor giving their absolute best on the day. From the tiniest juniors nervously stepping onto the mat for the very first time to the experienced black belts showing years of skill and dedication, each performance was met with cheers, encouragement, and pride. It was clear that everyone had worked so hard leading up to this event, and that effort really shone through in every kata and kumite round.

What made the day so special wasn’t just the high level of karate on display, but the determination and spirit shown by every single competitor. Whether they walked away with a medal or not, the courage it took to stand up, perform, and push themselves was something to admire. You could see the focus and heart in every performance, and it was obvious just how much time and effort had gone into preparing for the day. Coaches, family, and friends couldn’t have been prouder.

The atmosphere throughout the titles was one of encouragement and community. Competitors supported one another, celebrated each other’s achievements, and created friendships that went well beyond the mats. It was a true reminder that karate is about more than competition—it’s about respect, growth, and supporting one another along the journey.

At the end of the day, everyone who stepped onto the floor was a winner. Each competitor walked away with more experience, more confidence, and memories they’ll carry with them long after the event. The GKR Karate NSW State Titles were not only a showcase of talent and hard work, but also a celebration of the spirit of karate—and everyone who took part should feel incredibly proud of themselves.
