Like sister Jessica, Brian first started in karate at dad Branco’s dojo Yoseikan-Ryu Karate International.
The former Sacred Heart College student had an impressive junior career, claiming first place in the Australian Open Boys (12) kumite division in 1997. The same year he won the Hayashi-Ha World Championships in Florida and the Australian National Championships (boys 12 years, kumite). In the years that followed he went on to win several Junior Australian Open and National titles.
In 2003 Brian won a national championship in the 80kg kumite, junior male division. Two years later, he finished third in the Australian Open men’s over 80kg kumite class, second in the national championships (men’s over 80kg kumite) and (junior over 80kg) divisions and won the Australian Open junior male (over 80kg) division. He no longer competes but is involved in the karate community. Most of his time is now spent with his family and developing his company, Beyond Broking.
Brian is also a Chartered Accountant with a degree in economics and is a member of the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia and has been involved in the industry for over 10 years.
