Mel & her son Euan started their karate journey, training at Sunshine Coast Karate since early 2020. Here’s a short interview about their karate journey so far.

What encouraged you to get started on your karate journey?

My son and I had been through a very traumatic period and I was looking for a safe community and activity to support my son that had deep cultural values I connected with. I have previously lived and travelled in Asia and studied Japanese language and culture as well as Tibetan Buddhism, Tai Chi and Qigong, but not yet any martial arts.
