From Local Dojo to Global Stage

What if your support today helped a young Australian athlete compete on the world stage?

Not one day.

But...this year!

At just 14 years old, Daniel has earned the opportunity to represent Australia at the World Karate Federation Junior World Championships in Poland.

That opportunity wasn't given to him. It was earned through years of discipline, sacrifice and thousands of hours of training.

But selection is only the beginning.

To compete against the world's best, Daniel's 2026 international campaign includes major events across Australia and overseas, providing the experience and ranking opportunities needed to prepare for the World Championships.

2026 Campaign

• Sydney (Australian Open) 🥇
• Philippines (Karate1 Youth League) 5th
• Tasmania 🥈🥈🥇
• Selected for Poland (WKF World Championships) representing 🇦🇺

• World Youth League - Venice

Every event plays an important role in Daniel's development as he works towards his long-term dream of competing at the highest level possible, including, if karate returns, the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.

Through the Australian Sports Foundation, every tax-deductible donation helps reduce the financial pressure of international competition, training, travel and preparation, allowing Daniel to focus on what he's worked so hard to achieve.

Whether your contribution is large or small, you're becoming part of Daniel's journey and helping a young Australian proudly wear the green and gold on the world stage.

Thank you for believing in Daniel.

Your support today helps create opportunities that last far beyond a single tournament.
