Our first participation in 43rd MAKAF National Senior + U14, Cadet & Junior Karate Championship, 13-18 May 2025
For the first time MAKAF (Malaysian Karate Federation) included U-14 (Under 14 years old category, Age 12-13) in the National Championships held in Sensei Nik and Sensei Zad's hometown, Penampang, Sabah.
And this is just in time for our oldest actively competing student, Adelia Amani Binti Aiman, to be of age for this category.
This was not only her very first MAKAF championship, but also her first championship without her Senseis. She did her best competing under M.A.S.K. (Malaysian Association of Shito-ryu Karate-do). No success this time, though a brand new experience for Adelia.
24th International (Club) Milo Open Karate Championship, 19-20 June 2025
This time around we had some missed opportunities in Kata events, the discipline where our dōjo normally produced medals in tournaments, only producing one 🥉Bronze medal, but with great news in Kumite, we managed to land a Finalist grabbing a 🥈Silver and one more 🥉Bronze medal. KarateDatu competed under and represented M.A.S.K. (Malaysian Association of Shito-ryu Karate-do).
🥈 Silver medal ×1: Datu Faris Daniel (Boys Kumite 10-11yo ≤30kg)
🥉 Silver medals ×2:- Tasneem (Girls Kumite 10-11yo ≤30kg)
- Naeema (Girls Kata 6-7yo)
Other competitors: Muhammad Basheer (Boys Kata 8-9yo), Ihsaan (Boys Kata 8-9yo), Ella (Girls Kata 8-9yo), Alexz Boys Kata 10-11yo), Adelia (Girls Kumite 12-13yo -42kg).
In the previous year's Milo Open, it was Sensei Zad Datu who collected medals for the dōjo competing in Veteran (above 35yo) Kata and Kumite achieving 🏅Gold and 🥈Silver respecitvely (Sensei Zad Datu competes in Veteran Individual Kata & Kumite Category) also representing M.A.S.K. alongside students of KarateDatu and many other Shito-ryu Malaysia dōjo.
