LBKA Members in action!

Senior Members

LBKA's syllabus encompasses multiple martial art styles. Students must be proficient in multiple areas including mat work, grappling, sparring, throws and kata amongst other areas. Students at LBKA are some of the most well rounded martial artists in the industry and can easily adapt to any situation.

Doncaster Dojo

Students in Doncaster training hard, practising self defences, fitness exercises and kata. Students at Doncaster have a strong bond with each other and social interaction with each other is encouraged through games, group activities and partnered drills

Mount Waverley Dojo

To be the best martial artists students must have strong focus. This enables the student to concentrate on the task at hand and improve their technique. This also helps the students in the school room and at home.

LBKA Kata

Kata forms a key part of LBKA's syllabus. Kata is a set of pre-determined sequences made up of self defences, blocks, strikes, stances and kicks. Its is an excellent way for students to improve. Students need to be able focus on breathing, technique and not be distracted by their surroundings.

Shihan David Snell

Shihan David Snell recently was graded by his peers from different karate schools across Melbourne. This involved multiple weapons displays, kata and a demonstration of the Academy's syllabus.

Twilight Teams Tournament - 2012 PDF Print E-mail

The Twilight Teams Tournament of 2012 proved to be a fantastic success with 42 teams from several schools competing for the glory of winning. There were a lot of new friendships made and old friendships renewed. Sensei Adam got to compete against an old friend in Sensei Chris Weir. They used to compete against each other quite regularly 14 to 15 years ago as young teenagers. Sempai Trent came out of competition retirement to compete again after 15 years. All things considered, our teams put out an awesome effort. The standard of competition was very high.

We all have to bear in mind that the competitors who come to our tournaments are the ‘cream of the crop’ within their schools. Our competitors are our regular students.

Congratulations to all our teams who competed whether they won or not. Congratulations also to all those teams from all the other schools who competed. Remember competing makes you a winner. The winning trophies are just ‘The Cherry on The Cake’.

A big “Thank You!!’ go to all our Black Belts for refereeing and doing a wonderful job of it. Also to all the students and parents who chipped in with officiating in some form or the other. We always have a large number of chores to be carried out and they were carried out with the utmost professionalism. Our tournaments would never be the same without their help.

Thank you also to Dai Sensei Dale Hatty and Sensei Matt Andrepov for their help with refereeing.

We also have a few photos from the tournament for you to peruse.

Thank You

Shihan David Snell
