2013 AKF Australian Open Championships

The 2013 AKF Australian Open Championships was carried out on the 20 - 21 of April at the Whitlam Leisure Centre, Liverpool, NSW. There were over 930 competitors from seven nations including, England, Japan, and China. Pece Naumovski was among those representing Australia as he has done many times on numerous occasion. He came away with the silver medal in kumite (sparring) juniors -68 kg.

"This was a tough match, I have been training hard every day. When you go into any tournament you have to have the mindset that any position you get is a win regardless if you came tenth or first. It just means that you have to train harder next time. I am happy that I came second, it just means that I won't the first place even more and I am determined to get it in my upcoming tournament." said Naumovski

Lalor local has a black belt in determination
By Annie Koiker

PECE Naumovski began taking karate lessons after becoming enthralled by the action in martial arts films at the age of eight. Six years later, the Lalor resident has fought his way through more than 100 competitions, with spectacular results.

Naumovski obtained his black belt, first dan, in just five years. He also holds a coveted World Championship title – which he admits is his proudest achievement to date.

Naumovski balances his year 10 studies at Thomastown Secondary College with a gruelling training regime under the guidance of coaches Jason Knight and Morgan Abouzid at Go-Kan-Ryu Karate.

“Some days we focus on my fitness, practising cardio and stamina exercises, and then we spend a lot of time practising drills,” he says.

Naumovski has represented Australia on numerous occasions and has kicked and blocked his way around the globe.

“I’ve probably been to about 10 major competitions around the world; in Greece, North America, Germany, Japan, and England,” he says.

“I’ve met some great people along the way, and also some tough competitors. It’s always good to see how people from all around the world train.”

Naumovski has numerous inspirations, but names Hollywood star and martial arts icon Bruce Lee as his favourite.

“Although his style is different... what I find

most powerful is his determination” he says.

Naumovski’s karate takes up most of his spare time, but he manages a happy social life with the support of family and friends.

“It helps me stay focused, because I know I have to be determined to reach the levels I’m aiming for,” he says.

While planning a future in karate, Naumovski is realistic about the benefits of study. He aims “to finish VCE, go on to university and leave with a degree.”


Further down the track he would ‘‘love to open a club somewhere, and have my own place’’.

Naumovski was recently nominated for Whittlesea’s 2012 Australia Day Awards for devotion to karate.

He is grateful for the support he gets from the community and tries to give something back by helping at the Donnybrook Monastery each Sunday.

“I have a lot of sponsors in the area, and from the Macedonian community, who are an incredible help to me and my family.”

GKR Australian Champion 2012

On the 17th of November at the Melbourne sports and aquatic centre the 2012 GKR Australian National Championship took place. For the first time New Zealand joined this event making this tournament the largest transnational championship with over 700 competitors from every state in Australia and New Zealand. Pece picked up two gold medals to add to his ever growing collection. One of those gold medals was won with what many are saying is one of the best kicks of 2012. The atmosphere of the sports hall was electrifying with great kumite (sparring) and kata (forms) throughout the day to keep the spectators on their feet, no doubt Pece provided some of the action as his legs did the talking.

2012 ГКР Австралиски Шампион Пеце Наумовски

Во Саботата 17 Ноември се одржа ГКР Австралиски Шампионат 2012 во карате во спортската сала Melbourne sports and aquatic center.
На овој натпревар учествуваа 700 натпреварувачи каде за прв пат на овој натпревар учествуваа каратисти и од Новзеланд.
Нашиот Пеце Наумовски познатиот карате кид го освои првото место и се закити со златен медал и прекрасен трофеј.
Пеце како и секогаш во многу прекрасните борби ги употреби сите свои трикови против своите противници. Една од тие беше прогласен за најдобар удар со нога во гла за 2012 година.
За Пеце секои еден натпревар има голема важност преку натпреварите може да стане подобар се добива голема пракса против различни противници.
На овој натпревар присуствуваше и основачот на овој стил карате Роберт Канчо Саливан кои досега со Пеце се има сретнато многу пати, му честита на Пеце за успехот и со задоволство му рече „Додека неги рашириш твоите крилја не можеш да знајш колку високо можеш да леташ“. А тоа за Пеце значи дека во себе има голем талент за карате.
А Пеце за возврат му се заблагодари и му подари една од неговите книги со своја автобиографија „Австралиски Македонски карате кид Пеце Наумовски“.
