At just four years old, Sabrina took her first steps onto the dojo mat, beginning a journey that would shape her into the remarkable martial artist she is today. Inspired by her family, she attended classes alongside her mum and brothers, developing a deep passion for karate from an early age.

Over the years, Sabrina’s dedication and competitive spirit led her to the tournament circuit, where she excelled in both karate and Kobudo. Her journey has also taken her beyond the competition mats, granting her the opportunity to learn from some of the most respected karate instructors in Japan, Okinawa, and Australia through exclusive seminars. These experiences have enriched her knowledge and deepened her appreciation for the art.

Currently, Sabrina trains as part of Karate Academy Sydney’s Elite Tournament Team, representing the dojo at Australian Karate Federation (AKF)-endorsed tournaments. Her commitment to both her personal growth and the success of her teammates is evident in her disciplined training and unwavering determination.

Beyond her impressive achievements in competition, Sabrina plays a vital role as an instructor in the dojo. Her natural ability to connect with kids and adults has made her a beloved teacher among students. She leads most of our kids’ classes, guiding the next generation of karateka with patience, enthusiasm, and expertise.

Sabrina’s journey is a testament to what can be accomplished with dedication, perseverance, and a love for karate. As she continues to grow as a competitor and mentor, we are proud to have her as an integral part of Karate Academy Sydney. Her story serves as an inspiration to all who step onto the dojo floor, reminding us that with hard work and passion, the possibilities are endless.
