Sensei Antonio Oliva Seba

16 February 1948 - 13 May 2024

On behalf of the Australian Karate Federation, I wish to express our deepest sympathies to the family of Sensei Antonio Oliva Seba. This tragic loss has saddened us all and we send our prayers to his family and friends. 

Antonio was a true friend and mentor to Australian Karate. He has influenced multiple generations of athletes and coaches. Our National Team was privileged to spend time with him in 2023 as he continued to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of champions. 

Antonio was a master of our sport. He was highly respected throughout the Australian Karate Federation and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

With sympathy,

Hani Zahra
National President
Australian Karate Federation
