🖤 Trigger Warning: Su***de

We’re proud to support the incredible charity It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.
Their latest video shares their origin story and the powerful reason behind the work they do — helping people find hope, connection, and understanding in the toughest moments.

Please take a few minutes to watch this video and see why we’re so passionate about backing their mission.
Our upcoming Fight‑A‑Thon will donate all proceeds directly to It’s Okay Not to Be Okay, and we couldn’t think of a more meaningful cause to stand behind.

💛 Watch the video here 👉 https://itsokaynottobeokay.com.au/charity-video/
Let’s keep raising awareness and supporting the amazing work this charity does.

We started in 2016 by us three grieving sisters who lost our brother Ben to su***de. It’s Okay not to be Okay is a registered charity.

🥋 CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR KIDS WHO GRADED OVER THE WEEKEND!

Your efforts were outstanding and every single student passed — a huge achievement and something to be very proud of.

A massive thank you to our assessors who generously gave up their Saturday to help grade the students, and thank you to all the parents and families for your continued support.

Wear your new belts with pride, and let’s look ahead to our next goals and the steps we need to take to achieve them.

Gradings aren’t over yet — our teens and adults will be attempting their next grades this Saturday.

We’ve got a lot happening at the dojo over the coming weeks, so please keep an eye out for event dates and important information.

🎉 Happy 14th Birthday Kenshin Dojo! 🎉

Fourteen years ago today, we held our very first open day and officially started Kenshin Karate Langwarrin. Back then, we had just 19 students and operated out of St Jude’s Hall — and look how far we’ve come!

A huge thank you to everyone who has contributed to our amazing journey over the past 14 years. We’re still going strong, and there are many more years to come. 👊💚
