First of all I would like to congratulate Melanie on how she conducted herself as a student at Kazoku and martial artist and how well she fought yesterday, being such a long way from home.

First in point sparing, first in clash sparing and first in light kick. A special mention to Sensei Alexander for supporting and being Melanie’s mentor for her trip to Brisbane.

Melanie you have achieved so much in so little time, keep training hard and the sky’s the limit very proud of you. Never back down.
