Sempai Andrew Mandaglio

Shodan (black belt 1st level)

Sempai Andrew was born in Australia and resides in Leeton NSW

( sorry all you girls in other towns!!!)

He is an ardent competitor in tournaments and regularly surprises other disciplines ( and himself!!) with the strength and grace of his Kata ( forms). His most recent successes are 1st in kata (open) at the Albury/Wodonga all styles tournament. He has recently competed in the Melbourne Kyokushin Championships and placed 1st in the Kata, 2nd in the full contact kumite, and 2nd in the points Kumite. An exceptional effort as this was his first adult tournament and he had to step up a division In the kumite. Despite injuring his foot in the early rounds of the full contact he went on to place second.
