THIRTEEN students of the Bulahdelah Karate Club traveled to Surfers Paradise in Queensland to compete in the National All Styles (NAS) World Championships last month.
Fifteen different countries were present at the competition including England, America and New Zealand.
The students qualified for the Australian team through their performances at NAS tournaments in Sydney and Port Macquarie, as well as their performance at the National NAS competition last year.
Sensei Allan Connor said, "Everyone competed exceptionally well".
Several of the local students placed in the top 10 for their events.
Scott Coleman received the only top three placing for the Bulahdelah Club achieving third place in the Men's Novice Point Sparring 10th to 6th Kyu.
Scott only started his Karate training 16 months ago.
Eleven of the students are local Bulahdelah residents while two others travel from Gloucester to train with the club.
The students will continue competing in NAS competitions as they train for the NAS State competition in October.
