History of the Dojo
|
The Sea Island Dojo opened its doors in January 1985 after Sensei Tony Severs
handed the Richmond Dojo over Shihan Stuart Corrigal in December 1984.
Many of the people living in Burkville approached Sensei Tony, asking him to open
a local dojo at Sea Island because there was not alot of activities for the children
to take part in around that area at that time.
The Sea Island Dojo has been successfully running since that time, having countless
numbers of karate-ka participating in training Kyokushin Karate, developing strong
bonds amongst club members and families.
