2022 AWARDS
Regardless of age, belt or skill levels, we recognise and encourage students for their fantastic efforts throughout the year, and this is awarded at our Annual Awards Party. Award is based on each individual’s best attributes displayed during the year.

Our 3rd highest attendance is Isaac Wong with 178 classes, 2nd is Harrison Chen with 192 classes and our Warrior with the highest attendance this year is Joshua Hoo with 204 classes.
