at Taabinga State School Hall.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament was Round 4 of ISKA&#8217;s Queensland competition and entrants came from all over Australia, as well as strong contingent from the South Burnett.<\/p>\n<p>Organiser Jeff French said the tournament provided an opportunity for local competitors to pit themselves against visitors ahead of State competitions.<\/p>\n<p>He said this was the second time ISKA had held a round in Kingaroy, and it was already outgrowing its venue.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are already planning for next year and we are starting to look around at other possible venues as we have probably now outgrown Taabinga,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Martial arts styles on display included karate, kick boxing and taekwondo.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More photos at <a
