St Columba College Gymnasium
10:00 – 12:00
The Thousand Kick Challenge is our end-of-year tradition—a test of spirit, endurance, and personal growth. Many students begin the challenge believing that “1,000 kicks” is impossible. Yet, step by step, almost everyone completes it. The session reminds us that most of our limits exist only in our mind, and that great things are achieved by simply starting and continuing. Join us for a strong finish to the year, surrounded by your dojo community, and discover just how much you can achieve when you push past doubt. Don't Miss This!!!
