One of the founding instructors of Idokan Australia and Bushido Instructors Association is "fighting for her life" against cancer. Sensei Wendy Carroll is a well respected instructor in the martial art community.
Those that meet Wendy are always impressed with her enthusiasm for life. Two years ago Wendy was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer with a 6cm tumour. Wendy was told by her doctors that she should "put her affairs in order". Refusing to be beaten Wendy had a mastectomy and underwent aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. To her doctors surprise she survived the ordeal. Not only that but she reopened her dojo in Warrandyte and went to an intensive two week Jujutsu seminar in Kyoto, Japan where she was examined for her 4th Dan Jujutsu by the Honbu members of the Dai Nippon Butoku Kai.
