The dojo's talented duo of Jethro Hartmann and Keelan Ruston-Walkom each finished on the podium in their NSW Cup campaigns, putting their hard efforts at training to good use.
Hartmann finished third in the under 9s boys point sparring development level division (for those training to be on the state team but not on the team yet) and Ruston-Walkom was victorious in the under 9s boys point sparring.
