April 9th to 16th

In April five members from the New Hamburg Karate Club (Paul Arsenault, Sean Arsenault, Sofia Arsenault, Ryan Hesch and Sensei) took part at a Karate Camp in Punta Cana Dominican Republic. There were over 40 participants from across Canada. The weather and training sessions were very warm and we had lots of fun in the sun training with some of the top instructors from across Canada, including Sensei Higashi (9th degree black belt) the head of our style.
